MS Word--Quick Find Next

This procedure works the same as clicking Find Next repeatedly, and it is just as fast, but it gets rid of the annoying Find dialog box.

Use the Find feature with the shortcut (Ctrl+F), specifying what yoiu want to search for and then looking for the first occurrence of the string.
When the first occurrence is displayed, press the Esc key (or click on Cancel).
To find the next occurrence, just press Shift+F4.
