No: I have no such macro.

Hi Bruce,

Do you have a macro called EditFind? To check for this, open a file in which
Ctrl+F does not open the Search dialog box and press Alt+F8. In the Macro
Commands dialog box that opens, look down the list for EditFind. If you find
EditFind, select it, click Delete, and then click Close.

You may need to repeat this procedure in other files for which Ctrl+F does
not open the Search dialog box. If the solution works, but the problem comes
back, we may need to dig deeper to find what is creating these macros.

Friends, thanks for your help in the past! :-)

I have a rather nasty situation: in both Word 2007 (at home) and Word 2003
(at work) a file I've been editing has somehow managed to delete the
association of Ctrl-F with the "search" function so that I have to use
annoying alternatives like Alt-E [edit] / Search to get the same thing.

I've gone into what in 2003 is the Tools/Customize/Keyboard area (it's
called something else & accessed differently in 2007 but is essentially the
same place) and tried to restore Ctrl-F to what's called "EditFind" there,
and indeed this function does show up as having "Ctrl-F" assigned to it!

But when I then try to USE Ctrl-F, it still does nothing whatever,
essentially ignoring this keyboard association. :-(

Can anyone please tell me how to make this work correctly? There's
apparently some additional step neeeded that I don't know about.

Thanks in advance!

Bruce
