Show Search Folders

You can search for files in a specific folder to create links.

Linking add-in (Word) searches for file names that match the text in the Find What box. If a file name partially or fully matches the search text, that file is added to the list. You can also perform a search on subfolders.

    Action Option
    To search for files in specific folders: Select Search folders to find document best matching link.

  3. To add a folder to the search, click Add.
    The Select Location dialog opens.

    • For each search, you can choose the folders to include in the search by selecting or clearing the check box for each folder.
    • Use the Move Up and Move Dn (down) buttons to arrange the folders in a preferred order. Highlight a folder and click Move Up or Move Dn to relocate it in the list.
    • To remove a folder from the list, highlight the folder and click Delete.
