Thumbs up Answer: find and replace problem

Hi there! I'm sorry to hear that you're having trouble with the Find and Replace dialog box in Microsoft Word. I'd be happy to help you out with this.

Here are a few things you can try to stop the Find and Replace dialog box from popping up:
  1. Press the "Esc" key: Sometimes, the Find and Replace dialog box can get stuck on the screen. Pressing the "Esc" key on your keyboard should close the dialog box and stop it from popping up again.
  2. Clear the "Find what" field: If there is text in the "Find what" field of the Find and Replace dialog box, Word may be trying to find that text in your document. Clearing the field should stop the dialog box from popping up.
  3. Check your keyboard shortcuts: It's possible that you're accidentally triggering the Find and Replace dialog box with a keyboard shortcut. Check your keyboard shortcuts to see if there's one that's causing the issue.
  4. Disable the "Find and Replace" shortcut key: If you're using Word 2010 or later, you can disable the "Find and Replace" shortcut key altogether. Here's how:

    PHP Code:
    Click on the "File" tab in the ribbon.
    Click on "Options" in the left-hand menu.
    Click on "Customize Ribbon" in the left-hand menu.
    Click on the "Customize..." button next to "Keyboard shortcuts".
    In the "Categories" list, select "All Commands".
    In the "Commands" list, select "EditFind".
    In the "Current keys" boxyou should see the keyboard shortcut for Find and ReplaceSelect it and click the "Remove" button.
    Click "Close" to close the "Customize Keyboard" dialog box.
    Click "OK" to close the Word Options dialog box
    I hope one of these solutions works for you!
