Dean,
Thanks for the additional ways to resume a Find. One related thing I'd
appreciate knowing more about is this: Like a lot of people, I've only
found out the hard way that once you've done a Find in Word, control page
down seems to permanently lose its navigational function, and that if you
really want to use it again, desperately, you have to exit and relaunch
Word.
Now, this has always seemed extreme to me. Isn't there some way to cancel
the Find routine after you've found what you wanted to, so that Control
PageDown reverts to its normal function?
thanks.

the Word Repeat Find command is assigned to both Alt-Ctrl-Y and
Shift-f4. Of course, you can assign it to any keystroke you want to
using the customize keyboard feature in Word. In addition, Once
you've initiated a find, Ctrl-pgdn changes function, and if you hit
that key, it also acts as a repeat find command. Hence, when
searching again for an item you have already typed into the find
dialog, there's no reason to again hit ctrl-f.
