Evening –

Is there a way to be able to utilize the Find tab AFTER using Go To without Closing the dialog box?

Thank you.

Yes – simply click on the Find tab. Do you have a problem with that?

Hans-

The reason I wrote is that both tabs, Find and Replace grey after using Go To.

Hmm, I can’t reproduce that (in Word 2002 SP-3) – the Find and Replace tabs remain enabled after using the Go To tab. Could other Loungers please test this?

The Find and Replace tabs work fine for me after using GoTo, but I have Word 2003 SP2 so that may not be of much help here.

Thanks, Hans & Stuart.

Am awaiting word from someone who has this problem…………………………….

I have seen that when the dialog was opened by a macro.
And whether it behaves in that way depends on how you write the macro … Dialogs().Show versus CommandBars.FindControl().Execute, so it can be avoided.

Maybe EditGoto has been replaced by a macro on your machine?

Many thanks. Yes, EditGoTo had been edited (of course I had forgotten I had done this………)so the prior number wouldn’t appear . is there a way to have my cake and eat it, too?

With Dialogs(wdDialogEditGoTo)
.Destination = “”
.Show
End With

End Sub

You could use the following, but SendKeys is not 100% dependable – occasionally, the keystrokes might be intercepted by something else.

SendKeys "+{End}{Delete}"
CommandBars.FindControl(ID:=757).Execute

+{End} represents Shift+End to select the entire contents of the destination box, and {Delete} clears it. This is sent to the Edit | Go To… menu item (with ID = 757).

Thank you, Hans.

Will give it a try.

Like Hans, I’m Word 2002 SP-3 and can’t reproduce your problem.
