Find Next Without Using the Find Dialog in Word 2008

Rarely do you want to find just one instance of a word or phrase in Word. Instead of trying to keep Word 2008's Find and Replace dialog showing while searching, which can be awkward on a small screen, try the Next Find control. After you've found the term you're looking for once, click the downward-pointing double arrow button at the bottom of the vertical scroll bar to find the next instance of your search term. The upward-pointing double arrow finds the previous instance, which is way easier than switching to Current Document Up in the expanded Find and Replace dialog.

 
 

Adam Interviewed by Peachpit Publisher Nancy Aldrich-Ruenzel

Send Article to a Friend

After working through a comedy of inexplicable telephone-related glitches, I had an interesting chat last week with Nancy Aldrich-Ruenzel, the publisher of Peachpit Press and as a result, one of the most powerful women in the Macintosh industry. We talked about a few of our favorite features in iPhoto and Leopard, how we handle the fast pace of the industry, what I think about the Mac community, my opinions on social networking tools like Twitter and Facebook, and just what my action figure carries in his holster. It's about 17 minutes of audio and well worth a listen.
