Microsoft has decided that command-G shortcut should be assigned to “Go To…,” and they won’t ever change their minds. So you have to customize Word just to make it behave the normal way, i.e. use command-G as a shortcut for “Find Next.”
“Easy,” you say. “Just go to the ‘Customize Keyboard‘ dialog box, find the ‘Find Next‘ command and assign command-G to it.” Right.
I’ve been raving for YEARS about not being able to hit command-G to go to “Find next…”… And you know what? Word’s UI is so well done I actually NEVER even managed to reassign the keyboard shortcut because… well, read the post and you’ll find out why.
p.s.: oh, by the way, I totally agree, Word 2008 is so bad.
