I have written a Powershellscript to search certain text in the VBA coding. It works and is able to searchwithin the .dot files giving me useful results but in the same directory thereare .dotm files which does not seem to be searching.

Please see the powershell script below:

G:\templates\word>get-childitem -recurse -force | select-string -pattern"agent_attention" "applicant_and_title" | select-objectpath


Anyone know why .dot's are searchable but not .dotm's?
