To Find Documents and Add them to Globodox:
| 1. | In Globodox, click the Add from disk drop down and select the Find and Add option on the Ribbon bar. The Find and Add Files window will be launched.
 |
| 2. | Click this  button next to the Look in box of the Find and Add Files window, to select the folder in which you want to search the documents. This will bring up the Browse for folder window. You can also type in the location of the folder in the Look in box. |
| 3. | Select the folder and click OK. The folder's location will be displayed in the Look in box. |
A wildcard character is a keyboard character such as an asterisk (*) or a question mark (?) that you can use to represent one or more real characters when you are searching for files or folders. Wildcard characters are often used in place of one or more characters when you don't know what the real character is or you don't want to type the entire name.
Asterisk (*)
You can use the asterisk as a substitute for zero or more characters. If you're looking for a file that you know starts with gloss but you can't remember the rest of the file name, type the following:
gloss*
The Find and Add window will locate all files of any file type that begin with the word gloss including Glossary.txt, Glossary.doc, and Glossy.doc.
To narrow the search to a specific type of file, type:
gloss*.doc
In this case, the Find and Add window will find all files that begin with gloss but have the file extension .doc, such as Glossary.doc and Glossy.doc.
Question Mark (?)
You can use the question mark as a substitute for a single character in a name. For example, if you typed gloss?.doc, the Find and Add window would locate the file Glossy.doc or Gloss1.doc but not Glossary.doc.
