Mac Forum / Applications / Word / May 2008Find & Replace Window In The Way
OS 10.4.11 Ibook G4 1.5 GB Ram Word 2004 Hi, The "Find & Replace" Window is right in the way of what I'm trying to find, which are manual page breaks. I need to see the chapter numbers (56 of them) that are right next to the manual page breaks. The "Find & Replace" window won't stay in the place I drag it to, aside or down. The next click on 'find' and it pops back to the center of the screen. Is there a way to make it stay where I want it to, or is there another solution to this problem? Thanks, Rafael > OS 10.4.11 > Ibook G4 [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > make it stay where I want it to, or is there another solution to this > problem? There is. Close the find-replace window and use cmd-opt-y for find next. However, in my testing, the find and replace dialogue box did not leap back to centre screen when I hit "find next". I can't imagine what would make your copy of Word act so bizarrely.

My only guesses would center on Word being fully updated or corrupt prefs/plist file. However, in addition to his Cmd+Opt+Y solution you also have the Browse Objects button at the bottom end of the Vertical Scroll Bar if you prefer to use the mouse. Once you set up the Find dialog & execute the first Find Next you can close it all together then use the double arrow buttons to go forward or backward on the basis of the Find criteria.

I can't imagine what > would make your copy of Word act so bizarrely. Cmd+Opt+Y and the Browse Objects button work very well. I don't know yet if I will encounter some delay with not having the F&R box open all the time with all it's options available. I change those all the time, like, 'search up', 'search down'. re: the problem stemming from "Word [needing to be]fully updated or corrupt prefs/plist file." I just went to a word doc, and yes, that's what it does indeedsnap back to the middle. By fully updated do you mean going to word 2008? 2004 does everything I need. Or do you mean an up grade? Could you direct me to a MVP paper that deals with corrupt prefs/plist file.

Well, just because you *can* close the dialog doesn't mean you *have* to:-) Leave it open if you wish. Once you click into the doc the F&R dialog will lurk in the background until you click it or Command+` or Command+F to bring it forward again. By "fully updated" I meant the most recent update for the release version involved - in your case 11.4.1 is the current build.

Do I have to install each of these prior to installing 11.4.1, or can I go right to 11.4.1 Update?

Yeah, only 11.3.9 is a catch-up, so you'll have to start with it then do the rest in order:-( The good news is that the rest of them are very small. I'd just d/l the 11.3.5, apply it, then let AutoUpdate handle the remainder.
