You are right [Ctrl]+[F] is find. [Alt] [W] [F] is the correct keyboard shortcut for this. Alt is not held like a shift key here. These three keys are tapped one at a time. All menu options are available via the Alt key and the underlined letters. My favourite on a hundred+ page thesis is Dutch Elm disease - [Alt] [E] [L] [M]. Though on some versions of OO.o it was the eating disorder - [Alt] [E] [A] [T]. Of course after the screams settle down [Ctrl]+[Z] fixes things. > But there's an alternative.

This too can effectively freeze part of the display. (I see now > that window|freeze and window|split are mutually exclusive menu options.) Ooh! I learned something new - thanks. -- Michael --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
