WORD 2010 FOR MAC ADVANCED FIND AND REPLACE SHORTCUT SOFTWARE
They have been the single most important GUI concepts that help improve long term User Satisfaction with a software product of any type since ~2010 and MSFT is nearly a decade behind! One would think they would have incorporated the concept of application "skins", and User configuration files that could be moved when the Application is upgraded, BACK in the early 2000's. Microsoft clearly deserves no more $ from me for ANY future version of this horrible product with its crappy product management. Now, whenever you press Ctrl+F, you'll see the Find tab of the Find and Replace dialog box, as you traditionally would. Click OK to dismiss the Word Options dialog box.


Just below the Current Keys box Word informs you that this shortcut key is currently assigned to the NavPaneSearch command. Make sure the insertion point is in the Press New Shortcut Key box.In the Commands list, locate EditFind and click on it once to select it.In the Categories list, click Home Tab.Word displays the Customize Keyboard dialog box. At the lower-left corner of the dialog box click Customize.At the left side of the dialog box click Customize Ribbon.Word displays the Word Options dialog box. The solution is to make a configuration change to your shortcut keys. It is possible to press Ctrl+H and then click on the Find tab, but to most people that isn't nearly as simple as just pressing Ctrl+F. Many people find this very unhelpful and a step backward. Instead, it displays a pane at the left side of the screen that allows simple searching and navigation. Ever since the introduction of Word 2010, Ctrl+F no longer displays the Find tab of the Find and Replace dialog box.
