Thanks, Ed. This is a 2003 document, now in My Documents on a computer with Office 2010. I did try using the Alt D, but that did not work. However for right now, the Control G and an arbitrary page number does work. Like you say, when one gets to that point, often it is hard to know the right page. Thanks.

Carolyn:
I do not remember having this problem in Word 2003; however, I
know the Word 2010 control plus f command for find is a nasty,
awkward tool.  I have not tried control plus f for years.
You might try this in Word 2003 too.  I know this works in Word
2010.  I use it 25 times a day.
Instead of using control plus f, instead use control plus h
followed immediately by alt plus d.
Type in your word, wait for the find, and hit escape (or tab to
"cancel search."
It works every time.  To find subsequent occurrences, just use
shift plus F4.

Whenever I press Control F in a word document, it takes me to the
word. My problem is getting out of the thing. If I go to the next
page, it will say next occurrence or the previous page, previous
occurrence. I've tabbed and arrowed and hit Escape. Can't figure
out why it won't go away. Thanks.
