searching in Powerpoint document..

Post by john3774 »

How do I search .pptx or .docx files using the Find Panel? I know the words are in there but the search returns nothing. I have an inkling that this is related to filters used from Microsoft, but I can't find any information on that in the help file.

thanks,
John

Which version of XYplorer are you using? Since v20.50 content search in Office files is fully supported (32-bit and 64-bit) if MS Office is installed on the system.
