Default How do you turn off the "Find" command after you've used it?

Well, that's just my opinion of course; I don't think I've read anything
official saying it's a button (and I've most often seen it described as a
"silver ball"). The ScreenTip says "Select Browse Object," which is not
terribly helpful if you don't know what a browse object is (or don't know
that "browse" is Microsoft's general term for "go to next/previous X"), but
anyone with a modicum of curiosity is likely to press the button to see what
happens and find that it opens a gallery of tantalizing possibilities!

Thanks, Suzanne. I don't think I would ever have guessed that - not that

it
doesn't look like one, just that I don't see any relevance. I can't think

of
any icon that might reflect the button's purpose, mind you, the browse
object doesn't lend itself to pictorial representation.

The "circular icon" is meant to be a push-button.

Between the next and previous blue browse buttons there is a small

button
with a circular icon on it (no idea what it's meant to be). If you

click
on
this you will get a flyout and be able to select Pages again.

Alternatively it will automatically be changed to the type of anything

you
goto using the GoTo (Ctrl+G or F5) Dialog.

When you use Edit / Find (or click the binoculars icon) to find

something,
it
turns the "Page Up" and "Page Down" buttons at the bottom of the

scroll
bar
blue.

When that happens, they no longer function as Page Up and Page Down.

If
you
click on them, they just reopen the Find dialog box.

Does anyone know how to turn Find "off" after using it? The only

way
I've
been able to figure so far is to close the document and reopen it,

but
I
have
to imagine there's a way to do it inside of Word.

Thanks!
