Which kind of search are you referring to? Are you using the Find and Replace

dialog box in Word? Or the Navigation pane (if you are using Word 2010)?

Hi,



This has happened to me a few times.



I search for something that is IN the doc. & it doesn't find it even

though I'm staring at it.



What's up with that?



Thanks





Michelle

As a Trainer who's used Word for so many years, I personally find it really annoying that Ctrl+F has been absconded. They could have come up with a different shortcut for the navigation pane. I suppose it's just marketing. You can use Ctrl+F then click the third tab to get to the old Find feature.. You can also use Ctrl+H for Replace then click the Find tab. This brings up the old-style Find dialog. Hope this helps.

Note that you can reassign Ctrl+F to the EditFind command if you wish. Click
File tab | Options | Customize Ribbon | Customize.
