    try like
    Code:
    Application.Dialogs(wdDialogEditFind).Show
    i do my best to test code works before i post it, but sometimes am unable to do so for some reason, and usually say so if this is the case.
    Note code snippets posted are just that and do not include error handling that is required in real world applications, but avoid On Error Resume Next

    dim all variables as required as often i have done so elsewhere in my code but only posted the relevant part

    come back and mark your original post as resolved if your problem is fixed

    Re: How to pop up find box in Word with VB code?

    Marked thread as resolved too early... There is still a slight problem: how can I end the application with the find box remaining there. I need to edit the text while the box is open. This cannot be done if the makro is still running. So after poping up, the makro should end. Sorry I am not a programmer. I want to create an index in a large document, which requires endless recurring tasks. This is why I try to program a makro, which reduces mouse clicks about ten times...

    afaik you can not do this, no other code will run until the dialog is closed
