Did
You Know?
Did you know that
in MS Word, you can edit your document while the Find window is still
open?
I know, I know. I
hear you!
Every time you've
ever tried to edit a document while a window (such as the font formatting
window) is open, you get nowhere. That window just sits there, open and
waiting. You certainly aren't going to make any changes to the document
until you've made your choices and either clicked OK or Cancel.
It's hard to believe
the Find window behaves differently, isn't it?
Yeah, I thought so
too, but then I tried it and sure enough, it worked!
I had the Find window
open, clicked out into my document and poof, my cursor appeared in the
document, allowing me to edit as much as I wanted.
Now, I should mention
that the Find window remains on top until you close it, but it does lose
focus (its title bar lightens, denoting that it isn't the window with
the current focus) and it can be dragged around the screen.
When you need the
Find function again, simply click into the window. It will resume control
and you're back on your way!
