I require a way to access and find a search on a word perfect document. It has to find in the document a word, phrase or number. (That is to say a word in the file or document.) XP/windows only seems to use this type of search with Microsoft software. Does MS/DOS provide a search to search all types of software not MS specific? What or how can I do this at the run/cmd if at all possible

You can perform text string searches of files using the command line utility "find".
