Has anyone seen my FIND dialog box (Word 2007)?
My FIND dialog box in Word has disappear. When I invoke the FIND command
(press Ctrl-F or select Find from the the Edit box, or from my toolbar), the FIND box does not appear anywhere on my screen. I've closed all windows and it doesn't seem to be hiding behind anything. FIND is working in all other applicaitons. Wondering if I've somehow disabled FIND functionality, or if the dialog is minimized somewhere that I can't see. Any ideas how to get my FIND dialog box back? |

Well, when you open the Find panel your cursor is in the box, so you
could start typing something and see if it appears. Does this also happen with Ctrl-H (Find and Replace) and Ctrl-G (GoTo)?

It's unlikely that this has happened accidentally, but one way would be to
have a macro called "EditFind". Perhaps you have an AddIn that is causing the problem. Does it still go wrong if you start Word in Safe Mode (press and hold Ctrl while starting Word)? -- Enjoy, Tony www.WordArticles.com "Dar1837" wrote in message ...

Has anyone seen my FIND dialog box (Word 2007)?
Thanks for the quick reply. Yes, after Ctrl-F or G or H, I can in fact type
an entry without actually seeing the Find box. And when I press return, Word does in fact find the entry I typed. That, and the fact that Find shows up in Task Manager tells me the box is active, but hiding someplace. So I put my display in Extended mode (monitor + notebook) and discovered the Find box was moved off the edge of the visible display area ..... arrrrrg. Thanks for your help. "Peter T.
