Thanks Arjoll, your "for %f in (*.doc)...." etc works fine, except for one problem... screen scrolling speed! There does not appear to be a 'by page' command (/p, |more etc or indeed ScrollLock on the keyboard) which works.

While it merrily flashes through all those files not containing the selected text, by the time it finds one which does, it is too late to hit 'Pause' - the file name having scrolled off the screen!

Is there a way of scrolling page by page, or slowing down the scroll speed, or going back a page??
