MS Word macro finds previous occurrences of searched term


When you search a Word document without using the new navigation bar, preferring the floating Find dialogue and a keyboard shortcut, it’s not easy to return to a result you’ve just passed by.

Find Previous is a nice macro you can download in import in Word, associate with a keyboard shortcut such as Shift+F3 and use to reverse temporarily the Find direction, returning to results just skipped.
