Find Next Without Using the Find Dialog in Word 2008

Rarely do you want to find just one instance of a word or phrase in Word. Instead of trying to keep Word 2008's Find and Replace dialog showing while searching, which can be awkward on a small screen, try the Next Find control. After you've found the term you're looking for once, click the downward-pointing double arrow button at the bottom of the vertical scroll bar to find the next instance of your search term. The upward-pointing double arrow finds the previous instance, which is way easier than switching to Current Document Up in the expanded Find and Replace dialog.

I just ugraded to 2.5; what a nightmare! Instantly lost all of my sets and worse, now all of my fonts say "not available"... I want 2.0.3 back!

If you haven't upgraded to 2.5 yet, don't do it... stick with 2.0.3.
