Hi jfind48/ Joan ,have you installed all the updates for Office.?

I believe so - in fact I thought I applied all the updates on Saturday.

I Just tested the FIND, button here, and it works ,I am using Office 2007.

Are you using Windows 7?

At any time while you are working in a Word document, press Ctrl+F. It will bring up the find box for you.

Hope I helped!

I'm using XP and Office 2007

What happens when you try Ctrl+F,?

Thanks - I tried that and same result - ctl + f = find command on a blank screen...
