Thank you, Don, but that only shows which files contain the 
search string. (It's likely that all files in the list will contain at 
least one occurrence of the string.)

That would be a start, but what I am looking for is a means of seeing 
the string as if Writer was showing the file contents, so that I can 
see the surrounding text.

(Equivalent to joining all the doc's into one big file, then doing a 
Find.   Perhaps I shall have to do the joining manually...)
