I have MS OE 6. Windows 98SE.I use the "preview message pane" At times I need to search a e-mail that I have received for a surname. How do I do that?? I see the "find" icon at the top of the screen.All I can figure out there is to find a specific message. I would like to find a word in a certain message.. Any way to do that?? Thanks!!

Be sure you are in the "box" you want to search. Click the Find button in the toolbar or go to Edit > Find and choose the option : Message will search all folders and "Message in this folder" is just that. Do not enter anything in the top three fields: From, To or Subject unless you are sure about it. Enter the word you want to find in the message field, set the time limits and click new search. I can't seem to get the Find in this folder to find the second instance, unless I use the "Advanced find" button. Alfred D.

Don't know if this will work in OE, but on some sites if you hold down the Alt key while you strike the f key and popup will show up and highlight what you are looking for. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jane Gillespie" <gillespie4491@bellsouth.net> To: <GEN-COMP-TIPS-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Saturday, August 21, 2004 12:31 PM Subject: [Gen-Comp-Tips] Searching for a word in E-mail Message > I have MS OE 6.
