Thinking about it some more, I wonder if you couldn't create a 'Find' tab on
the ribbon. All you would have to add are a textbox and a couple of buttons
and bind those to simple macros (or maybe even directly to the find
commands). That way, you wouldn't loose any screen real estate.

A good starting place is http://gregmaxey.mvps.org/Customize_Ribbon.htm

The good news is that there is a dockable find pane in Word 2010 (see
http://blogs.msdn.com/microsoft_offi...perience.aspx).

The solution for Word 2007 would be to whip up your own custom task pane
on which you added a find box. VBA does not support the creation of custom
task panes from scratch as far as I know, so you would have to go the VSTO
way.

That would be a "Dock Search Window" checkbox...

I don't think there's any perfect solution for your other question.


That would be as simple as a "Horizontal View Lock" button....
