Re: Resizing "Find and Replace" box

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

Shift + F4 is assigned to the RepeatFind command, which finds the next
word/phrase only. When you reach the end of the document, you are
presented with a message asking if you want to start again at the
beginning of the document. Pressing Enter will start the Find process
again. If you used Find to locate a word and you edited that word,
you would need to recreate a Find command to locate that edit.

There are no FindNext and FindPrevious commands. The BrowseNext and
BrowsePrevious commands are assigned to Ctrl PageUp/Down commands.
You can remove those shortcuts and assign Ctrl PageUp/Down to
GoToNextPage and GoToPreviousPage, which will automatically turn off
Find (if that was the previous command).

Pages are considered "objects" in Word. The Browse feature enables
you to navigate through your document by specific objects you can
select from the Browse Object menu (which always looks for the "next"
object). There are 12 objects that include the following: Go To,
Find, Edits, Heading, Graphic, Table, Field, Endnote, Footnote,
Comment, Section, and page.

I could only find three two-key shortcuts that I knew I'd never use
and could profitably turn over to other functions -- I made Ctrl-\ and
Ctrl-| Accept and Reject Change respectively, and I used Ctrl-T to
call Graham's incredibly useful Transpose macro (btw it operates
noticeably more slowly in Windows 7 than in Vista, and I think the
Windows 7  processor is faster than the Vista one -- the computer is
several years newer).

It's _really_ annoying that the PageUp/Down buttons double as the
FindPrevious/Next buttons. (Is there a way to disable that?)

As long as I'm using a key combo or a click to do a FindPrevious/Next,
I wouldn't have occasion to open the Find panel again, so I don't see
that as a problem.

But won't Shift-F4 only FindNext, and not FindPrevious?

You can reassign default shortcuts to something easier to reach.  You
can even change 3-key assignments to 2 keys.  You just need to watch
the description portion of the dialog box closely when you press your
new keys so you are not wiping out another valued shortcut.

By the way, Shift + F4 also repeats the last GoTo search.

Once you use Ctrl + F to open the Find dialog box, Ctrl + PageUp/Down
no longer work as expected.  You need to turn Find off by clicking the
silver button between the blue up/down arrows at the bottom of the
scroll bar and select Browse Next (Browse by Page in Word 2007).  Or
you can press Alt + Ctrl + Home, then press Enter to accept the
default selection of Browse Next (or by Page).  Since this turns Find
off completely, you would have to bring that dialog box up again and
search once before you can use Shift + F4 again.  I have a separate
macro that does all of that in one fell swoop.

If only there were a way to Replace with a shortcut after you use the
shortcuts (Ctrl-PgDn/PgUp might be easier to reach) to Find. There
isn't, is there?

You do not have to keep opening Find (Ctrl + F) to repeat a search.
Search once, then close the dialog box.  Press Shift + F4 and Word
will perform a search for the word (or phrase) most recently entered
in Find without the dialog box obscuring your view.

It's so much bigger than it needs to be, and so ungainly, it obscures so much

I would like to make it smaller, more stationary, and off to the side of the
text.  Is this possible?
