[Tip]

The text selection, if any, is automatically used to initialize the Search field of the Search tool. As a consequence, in some cases, you don't need to use the Search tool at all. For example, selecting some text in the document and then directly pressing Ctrl+G (SearchFind Next) is the quickest way to find the next occurrence of the selected text in the document.

Find Previous
