But it's just strange why word is behaving inconsistently. Sometimes it displays the message and sometimes it remains on the last or first Occurrence of the text without displaying the message. It's just strange that it sometimes displays the message and sometimes not. If it always displayed the message, then I understand. -----Original Message----- From: jfw-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:jfw-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Debbie Kessler Sent: 10 March 2006 03:17 PM To: jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: finding text in word Hi Nicolis: First, sorry for getting your name wrong in my previous post. I was just figuring it would be easier to press escape to get rid of the message than to mess with windows to prevent the message from showing at all. I do not know of any check box or anything easy like that to stop the message from popping up. When I pressed escape and the message went away, the focus was on that last item found.

I know that. the message I'm getting sometimes: word has finished searching the document; do you want to search at the beginning? or at the end? Then it gives a yes and a no button. If I press escape it disappears, but I just wondered if there is a way so that that message will never come up if I reached the first or last occurence of search text. For me its better if the cursor jsut stand on the first or last occurence rather than displaying a message. -----Original Message----- From: jfw-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:jfw-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Debbie Kessler Sent: 10 March 2006 03:04 PM To: jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: finding text in word Hi Michael and all; I have never had my find feature reach the top or bottom of a document without displaying that message of which you speak. When the message comes up, try simply pressing escape to see if it goes away and the focus is on either the first or last occurrence of your search.

It's much quicker than shift+f4. What I do notice though. When my cursor reaches the end of the document and I press control+page down or at the beginning if I press control+page up sometimes it will display a message box that word reaches the end or beginning of the document and sometimes it will just remain on the last or first occurrence of the text it found without displaying a message box. Why is this inconsistency? Can't it always just stay on the last occurrence without displaying a message box? Thanks
