SYMPTOMS
If you run a Find File search and select All Drives in the Search On Drive list, the search results do not include publications that are located on floppy disk drives.

The Search All Drives parameter in the Find File dialog box makes Publisher search all local hard drives, local CD-ROM drives, and attached network drives. To keep the search time as low as possible, Publisher does not search floppy disk drives in this situation.



RESOLUTION

Method 1
In the Publisher Find File dialog box, specifically choose drive A or B in the Search On Drive list.

Method 2
Use the Windows 95 Find feature to search all drives. For more information about the Find feature, click the Index tab in Windows 95 Help, type the following text

searching for, files or folders

and then double-click the selected text to go to the "Finding a file or folder" topic.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article.
