Thanks Don, That's a really helpful hint. It makes me wonder how many other time saving short cuts I don't know. -----Original Message----- From: jfw-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:jfw-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Don Moore Sent: Wednesday, November 12, 2008 6:05 PM To: jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: backward find in Word Hi Debra, As you know, to use the Find function, you first press Control f, type in your text string and press Enter. Then, press Escape to get out of the Find function. After that, you can press Control PageDown to find the next instance in the forward direction or press Control PageUp to go backwards and find the previous instance in the backward direction. Hope this helps, Don ----- Original Message ----- From: "Debra Hernstrom" <dhh@xxxxxxxxxx> To: <jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Wednesday, November 12, 2008 4:10 PM Subject: backward find in Word > Hello, > \ > there was a discussion awhile back about the keyoboard shortcut for a > backward find in Word. could someone tell me what this is. thank you. > > debra Hernstrom > > > -- > JFW related links: > JFW homepage: http://www.freedomscientific.com/ > Scripting mailing list: > http://lists.the-jdh.com/listinfo.cgi/scriptography-the-jdh.com > JFW List instructions: > To post a message to the list, send it to jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx > To unsubscribe from this mailing list, send a message to > jfw-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the word unsubscribe in the subject line. > Archives located at: //www.freelists.org/archives/jfw > > If you have any concerns about the list, post received from the list, or > the way the list is being run, do not post them to the list.
