Mac Encarta 97: Pasting Text into Search Box Finds Nothing (158227)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Encarta 97 Encyclopedia for Macintosh
- Microsoft Encarta 97 Encyclopedia for Windows
- Microsoft Encarta Encyclopedia 97 Deluxe for Windows
This article was previously published under Q158227 SYMPTOMS
When you try to perform a search in Encarta, nothing is found.
This occurs when you perform a search by copying two or more words of an
article, and then pasting it into a text box in the Word Search flyout.
CAUSE
Encarta copyright information is pasted into the text box along with the
selected text.
The Encarta copyright information accompanies the selected text when
you copy more than one word at a time. This is by design.
The following is an example of the copyright information:
"Greek Mythology," Microsoft(R) Encarta(R) 97 Encyclopedia(C) 1993-1996
Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.
WORKAROUND
Manually type the words you want to search for into the text box,
or copy the words one at a time into the text box.
MORE INFORMATION
Because each article does not contain the copyright information in the
actual text, Encarta's search engine will not find all of the words
specified in the query.
You can view all of the copied text by pasting it into a word
processor, such as Microsoft Word, or Apple's SimpleText.
