Remarks

The properties and methods of the Find object correspond to the options in the Find and Replace dialog box.

Use the Find property to return a Find object.

If you've gotten to the Find object from the Selection object, the selection is changed when text matching the find criteria is found.

If you've gotten to the Find object from the Range object, the selection isn't changed when text matching the find criteria is found, but the Range object is redefined.
