Reverse Word Searches
Travis Roth of Lincoln, Nebraska, sent me a couple of useful and little-known keyboard shortcuts for continuing a search in Microsoft Word after the Find dialog box has been closed. The shortcuts even change the search's direction. Press Ctrl- Page Down to have Word search for the next occurrence of your last search string, and press Ctrl- Page Up to make Word search for the previous occurrence. If you haven't searched for anything since you loaded Word, these keystrokes move the cursor to the next or previous page.
