                            word or phrase and click on the Edit menu.

                            box or press the Enter key. The first occurrence of the
                            text in the document after the current position of the
                            cursor will be highlighted.
                 Step 5     Press the Enter key to move to the required occurrence
                            of the text.
                                                                                             Find option (Edit menu)
