Word should let me go back to the previous result found
I use Microsoft Word 2003. I would like Word to have a button in the Find
dialog box that takes me to the previous result. I can't count the number of times I have accidentally clicked Find Next and then realized I needed to go back to the last result. This would be especially useful in long documents or with searches that have lots of results. It would save me hours that I spend redoing searches to try to find that one result I accidentally missed. ---------------- This post is a suggestion for Microsoft, and Microsoft responds to the suggestions with the most votes.

Word should let me go back to the previous result found
Actually, there are two ways to do that already built into Word. One is to
click on "More" (in the Find dialog box), and select Search: Up (the options are Up, Down, and All). The other way to do it is with the two tiny little blue arrows in the lower right corner of the screen. One of them says "Previous Find/GoTo" and the other says "Next Find/GoTo." The top arrow searches up, and the bottom arrow searches down. Just close the Find dialog box and click those arrows to search up or down. "BenRose" wrote: I use Microsoft Word 2003.

It does: use browse next/previous buttons at the bottom of the vertical
scroll bar. When you use Find, the browse object is automatically set to Find. "BenRose" wrote in message ... I use Microsoft Word 2003.
