My find and replace function in Word 2000 seems to default to "search down".
How can I change this to "search all"?

Thanks,

Brian
 
Try running this macro:
Sub ResetFRParameters()
With Selection.Find
.ClearFormatting
.Replacement.ClearFormatting
.Text = ""
.Replacement.Text = ""
.Forward = True
.Wrap = wdFindContinue
.Format = False
.MatchCase = False
.MatchWholeWord = False
.MatchWildcards = False
.MatchSoundsLike = False
.MatchAllWordForms = False
.Execute
End With
End Sub
 
The default is always Search Down if you have text selected when you begin
the search. With no text selected, Word will start where you are and wrap to
the beginning.
