Finding a presentation file to open

If you have forgotten where you saved a particular presentation file, you’re not out of luck. The Open dialog box (under Windows Vista) includes a Search box that can help you locate it. See Figure 21-14.

To search for a file, follow these steps:

  1. Choose Office Button?Open to display the Open dialog box.
  2. Navigate to a location that you know the file is in. For example, if you know it is on the C: drive, click Computer in the Favorite Links list and then double-click the C: drive.
  3. Click in the Search box and type part of the filename (if you know it) or a word or phrase used in the file. See Figure 21-14.
  4. Press Enter. A list of files appears that match that specification.
  5. Open the file as you normally would.

Use the Search box in the Open dialog box (Windows Vista only) to look for a file.

You can also use the Search utility from outside of PowerPoint. In Windows, click Start and choose Search. Although the Search utility in Windows Vista is different from the one in Windows XP, both can find a file by name, content, author, date, or many other properties.
