If escaping the Search Dialogue in MS Word takes you away from the results


There is a feature in Word that may annoy a lot!

After you find what you was searching for with the Finder, you hit escape to start working on the page with the results you just found, but, instead of that, Word brings you back to the point where your cursor was in the beginning, before you started to search!

To avoid moving away from the Search result you are interested in, do not hit escape immediately, first hit Enter and then Escape.

If you press Enter, Word won’t change page, with the Escape now passing focus to the search result you was viewing when you pressed Enter.


Being yourself an author or student you will perhaps appreciate especially this feature, that the very structure of the book will teach you how to work.

The book contains even chapters on how to prepare a document for professional publishers such as Amazon.

Reading Steven Adams' Writing a book or thesis in Microsoft Word you are surprised realizing it makes you want to work -- to think, write, use Word and be creative!
