Don't know what version of Word you have. In 97, at least, if you click on File, Open and navigate to the folder containing your files, you can enter text in the field near the bottom labeled "Text or property:" and then clcik Find Now.

You can use Search on the Start menu as well.
In W2000 you can use File>Open and the use Find on the Tools menu. The property you want to search with is Contents. You can even set up Boolian search (And/Or).
