Find and Replace dialog box covers the found item

Tutorials Win: Microsoft Windows Forum

Hi,
In Word 2003 and 2007, when I do Find and Replace (Ctrl+H), and also
when I do Find (Ctrl+F), and I do repeat finds (pressing Enter while
the dialog box is open) the dialog box covers up the items found.

Is there a way to get the box to stay out of the way?

I can't seem to find the answer on the newsgroups.

Thanks, Bob

No help for Replace, but for Find, dismiss the dialog and use the Browse
arrows at the bottom of the vertical scroll bar.

Also, for find, there's Shift+F4 (Repeat Find).) Doesn't help with Replace,
though.

You can drag the dialog box out of the way, though (it helps more if you
have two monitors).
