Gattabria,
As Brian has said, you can't directly search Word docs stored in general fields.
If the documents are fairly static, you could consider creating a new memo field, alongside the existing general field, to hold only the text of the document (as opposed to formatting, graphics, etc.). You can populate this field using some simple Automation code (REPLACE TextMemo WITH oDoc.Content.Text). Then, use VFP's normal string-handling functions to search the field.
Of course, you'd then have the problem of keeping that field up to date, plus the searching would in any case be slow.
Another approach might be to use Word itself to do the searching. I don't know how to do it, but it should be possible, using Automation, to open each document in turn and have Word search it.
Hope this helps.
Mike
