Word has some well-hidden keystrokes for finding the next occurrence of a
search string. They are shift+f4 and alt+ctrl+y. Speech feedback is a bit
odd to me, but they work in 2016 and have always worked before that.

Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Re: Word 2010 "more" search options
Thanks for this, Dean.
I am using Word 2016 now.
I hated to give it up, my Word 2003. It still worked for all the simple
things I do.
But ho well, I am trying.
I notice that if I use my old well known keyboard shortcuts that Jaws will
say, something like, "to continue using previous shortcuts.. blah blah. "
And if I still know and remember the next sequence of keystrokes, I can
still get my simple task done.
On the using the Find feature in Word, a question I have is this.
Word has always had this thing where once you do a Search using the Find in
Word, when you use the keystroke combo of CTRL + Next button to go to the
top of the next page, Word goes on and continues to be Searching.
I have always been frustrated by this.
Dean, or anyone, do you know a work around this?
Or, maybe , is there another keyboard shortcut to go to the top of the next
page, then?
Thanks.
Rik

The same search capability exists in Word 2010 as in earlier versions. Are
you using the Word Find we know from the older versions, or the new one? If
the latter, you can get to the old familiar search interface in several
ways. One way is to hit Ctrl+H, which takes you to the Find and Replace
dialog. How hit shift+tab followed by left arrow and you will be in the
Find edit field. Tab to the More button and all the search options are
available to you.
I should note that these instructions are from Word 2016, so the situation
might be slightly different in Word 2010 but not much; the same capability
will exist. One can use Word's keyboard managing capability to make Ctrl+f,
or some other keystroke, invoke the old familiar Find dialog as opposed to
the new one.
Hope that helps.

Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Word 2010 "more" search options
I'm using Word 2010, a distinct step-down from older versions, IMO. I want
to find exactly "t " to find those pesky occurrences when "I" scanned as
"T". But I can't find the "more" under search, where I could say Whole word
only. The silly thing is ignoring the space after the t, and finding every
t in the book.
Any ideas? Otherwise, I'll fire up my good old Word version and do it
there.
