Hello Tom. Yes, I was aware of this approach. However, I think you'll find that by selecting up instead of down, you set MS Word's default search for backwards rather than forwards, something I didn't wish to do. Thanks nonetheless.

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.
