Display with Find and Replace

[GaiaOne]

I am using a shortcut key programmed with Find and replace to move from one
marker within the text of a doctument to another. Is there some way I can
disable the display from popping up each time I use this? I just need the
result. I don't need to see it work each time. Getting a bit seasick....

If you are simply looking for a fixed text then the following macro will
find the next instance from the cursor without popping up the dialog.

Sub FindMyText()
Selection.Find.Execute ("Text to find")
End Sub

Graham, I'm lost. I just want to be able to pres the F2 key and jump from
one place holder to the next. I am an old DOS macro user trying to convert
the software in my head. I tried what you said, but could only get it to
work if I did the "run macro" thing. I just want a one-keystroke action. Is
this possible in a Windows environment?

Assign the macro to a keyboard shortcut - see
http://www.gmayor.com/installing_macro.htm
F2 is already assigned - you could re-assign it or choose another shortcut
that has not been assigned eg ALT+F2

After you find the first occurance you can close the Find dialog box and use
Ctrl+PgDn/PgUp to find the next/previous occurance.
