Author Searching thru multiple office documents

Does anybody know of a program that can search for keywords in multiple office documents.

For example.

I have a folder that contains over 200 word docs. and want to open all the docs that have the word "atlantic" in them.

Im sure I saw a tool that worked within the windows explorer a couple of years ago for office 97 but for the life of me I cannot find it anywhere now.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Rob,
Follow these intructions and you are going to search all documents with any keyword.

1) Open Word Application
2) Click on File Menu and select Open Command
3) Click on tools (it is next to View)
4) Select Find
5) In Property-Open the little arrow and select Keywords

6) In value: type any word that you want
7) In Look in: Click on search subfolders
8) Click find now and that's all.

Good luck!!!
