Can I Put "Find" Text Box in Toolbar Instead of Separate Window?

[Guest]

When I want to find a word in MS Word, standard procedure is to click on
Edit/Find and the Find and Replace window pops up where I can enter my
keyword in a text box . The separate window is annoying since it is extra
clutter, and a simple text box in the toolbar could achieve the same thing.
Is there a way to embed the text box for a "Find" in the MS Word toolbar?

The Opera browser has this approach to "find in page" which streamlines the
finding process.

Thanks,
Paul

If you're just using Find, you can dismiss the dialog after entering the
search word and use the Browse arrows (bottom of the vertical scroll bar) to
Find Next/Find Previous.

Ctrl + F will bring up the Find dialog box. Dismiss the dialog box
with Esc and continue to find with Shift + F4. If you want the
Replace tab, press Ctrl + H instead.

Ctrl + F will also bring up the Find feature in Internet Explorer and
Firefox.
