Search for text inside shapes (Text boxes)
Hi Guy,
Look up the Stories collection in the helpfile. Or look up the NextStory
method. There you should find some code examples.
Everyone hates this feature but you're right: Word only searches the current
story unless you tell it to check the others. (A document can have up to 11
stories: headers and footers, main body, textboxes, etc., etc.)
