Searching for files by author

Does anyone know of a way to search for files by author, not by name in windows XP? I'm looking for training documents a person wrote. He has since passed away and our common is an absolute mess...
 
Sounds like something you could use VBA for. This site (found with a quick google) indicates a property for the document you can query - ActiveDocument.BuiltInDocumentProperties(wdPropertyAuthor) once your script has loaded the document. You'd need to code it to scan through all of the potential documents and flag the one(s) that closest match the intended author.
