Search for a word in many excel files at once

**rowrow** · 07-17-2011, 10:28 PM

I have a folder that contains 10 excel files. Some of the files have the cell containing the word "orange"

I want to search for the word "orange" in all the excel files.

How can I do a search on all the excel files at once?

Thanks

I am using windows 7. do you mean entering the word at the top right search box? I notice sometimes it does not detect all the files that contain the words I am searching.
