Priscilla - I don't have Word so I'm not familiar with the Search tool in Word that you're describing. It sounds like the Search tool in the upper right corner of the Windows File Explorer.
In Debian (and presumably also in Ubuntu) there is the 'recoll' application, which searches within the contents of files. I don't have much experience with it, but I think it may do what you need. There is documentation at www.recoll.org, and you should be able to install it from within Ubuntu. - Robert ________________________________________ From: Priscilla Van Sutphin <[email protected]> Sent: February 14, 2023 15:05 To: [email protected] Subject: re finding words in articles in open office suggestion [You don't often get email from [email protected]. Learn why this is important at https://aka.ms/LearnAboutSenderIdentification ] One of the things you can do that is extremely helpful for finding things in writings is to put a word in search in microsoft word in your calling up you list of articles, So you can find something you've written but can't find which article it is in. So I can click on documents in Word, and there is a search option in upper right corner and I can put in the word sabotage for example, and find it in several articles I 've written. But on using Ubuntu i cannot do that in open office. Is there anyway you can change that?
