FIND feature for microsoft word 2000

Author	Message
jvh #1 / 6	FIND feature for microsoft word 2000 I have Word 2000, and have trouble using the FIND feature. When searching entire directories/folders for documents containing a certain word or phrase of text - (Tools menu, Find) I get the resulting list of documents with that word or phrase OK (dialogue box Open), but when I open the first document to review it, the list of 'found' documents disappears, and I'm left with only the one document I'm looking at. I have to do the entire search again to check for the next document. Two questions: first, when using the FIND feature, is there a way to hold or keep the resulting list of documents so that I can review the next document from the search? And second, can all of the documents located have the word or phrase searched for be 'highlighted', like WordPerfect does???
