You know in acrobat reader when you press ctrl+find a search pane appears on
the right.
When you do the search, acrobat lists the term searched for.
This is user frinedly and one goes back and forth between pages contaning
the serached word.
In word, however, you have to go forward all the time and can loose track.
I think word should adopt the search pane too.

Download finder.zip from http://jay-freedman.info/. Unzip the file it contains
and place it in your Word Startup folder so it will become an add-in.

That depends on what you wish for. <eg>

Ummmmmmmmmmm - I'll make it a simple one. I wish for my headache to go away.
And maybe some BSOD blue focal beads. :)

Sorry, my web page is more likely to give you a headache than to make it go
away. :-( Go home, get a cup of tea, and wait for Hubby to rub your
temples. That usually works for my wife.

BSOD blue beads... might be able to find some of those... What's the 'focal'
part?

Focal beads aren't little seed beads, they are usually larger and draw
attention.

I'll have to wait another 6 hours for the temple rub. :-(

I downloaded the zip file and followed the instructions. I can see the
finder.dot in Templates and Add-ons. I have tried Ctrl+F but it does not
appear.
I am using Word 2003.
Can you help, please?

Did you put it into your Word Startup folder?
C:\Documents and Settings\{Your user Name}\Application
Data\Microsoft\Word\STARTUP

The Finder.dot template assigns the shortcut Ctrl+Alt+F to the macro. (By
default that shortcut is assigned to a command that inserts a footnote, but
I never use that keystroke so I stole it.) The Ctrl+F shortcut should still
be assigned to the regular Find dialog.

To see if that's what is assigned for you, go to Tools > Customize, click
the Keyboard button, select Macros in the Categories list, and select Finder
in the Commands list. The Current Keys box will show you what shortcut is
assigned, if any. You can change it if you want.

Thanks. It works with Ctrl+Alt+F as you said!

Yep. They are more a denim blue than BSOD but I like them just the way they
are. Wouldn't it be nice if all of our wishes were so easily fulfilled?
