Hi Jerry, You asked how to Find backwards in Microsoft Word. If you use Control f to locate the first occurrence of a search string and you wish to search for subsequent occurrences of the search string, first press Escape to get rid of the Find Dialogue, then use Control + PageDown to move forward through the document and Control + PageUp to move backward. This method does not cause the Find Dialog to be re-displayed.

I'm not talking about control pageUp but a direct keyboard sequence which would allow me to make a first time string entry to go backwards in the text. Thanks to anyone who knows how to do this and is willing to share it with me. Jerry
