Debbie,
That was amazing, below. I'm exhausted just from reading about what you went
through. I know, doing it goes more quickly than carefully typing a
description of the experience, sometimes. But still. Hat's off to you.

Yah, a little complicated. Has to do with the fact that the find dialog box is
actually a multi page dialog box made up of find, find and replace, and go to
pages. There is nothing like find and replace to save ones baken. Had a student
who rather than breaking her document up with paragraph breaks, broke with
forced line breaks. I had to go through the thirty page document and change all
occurrences to paragraph breaks. Given the circumstances, it was just a matter
of maximizing the find and replace dialog box; going to the special button;
inserting the forced line break into the find field and inserting the paragraph
mark in the change to field. Then change all occurrences.Just hapends to be one
of the things I really studied using Word. Sorry to those who felt this was
more than they wanted to know about the subject.

Oh, thanks. I heard that once but forgot about it. I guess because it's a
little complicated to remember if you don't use it enough. I'll practice it a
few times and see if I can get it down better.
Still, it's strange program design. You'd think they'd not do such a thing.

You can also go to the go to dialog box with ctrl G and press the delete key.
Then press escape key to close the box. The ctrl pgn will be back to moving you
a page at a time within Word.

I'll try that. I am so sorry that the handy keyboard navigation command
control PgDn, which I love to use for skipping from page to page, become
useless once you run a Find for something in a document. That really bugs me.
But thanks, and I'll try these options...
now understand why

Alt-ctrl-y or ctrl-pgdn are two keystrokes you can use to find the
next occurrence of any search string in Word.
