Go2Text

Tired of using your cursor keys or mouse to get to a specific word or phrase? This macro will take you exactly where you want to go, quickly and easily.

When you're editing in Word and you spot something that needs to be corrected, usually you have to use the cursor keys (repeatedly) to get to it, or reach for the mouse to select it.

Go2Text instantly takes you to the character, word, or phrase you specify but how is that different from using Word's Find feature to go to some text?

Well, try this: 1. Press CTRL + F to bring up Word's Find dialog. 2. Enter some text to find. 3. Press the ENTER key.

You'll be taken to the text you wanted to find. But notice: the Find dialog is still open. To work on the text you've found, you'll have to press the ESC key (or click the Cancel button) to get rid of the dialog.

With Go2Text, this is not the case. As soon as you press ENTER, the dialog goes away, saving you the annoyance of having to put it away manually.

Now notice this: After using the Find dialog, the text that was found is selected, which means you have to press the LEFT ARROW key to get to the front of the text - another unnecessary keystroke. Go2Text simply takes you to the beginning of the text without selecting it (unless you specify that the text should be selected).

This is also true when you press CTRL + R to repeat the macro, while pressing SHIFT + F4 to repeat a Find selects the text.

So Go2Text saves two steps every time you use it. To some people, that may not be important. However, those extra keys you have to press can easily add up in both time and frustration.
