How does one search for and find Text Boxes in a long MS
Word document?

Guess:

Ctrl+G, goto what = graphic

This finds only inline graphics, which do not (usually) include text boxes.

Note: I'm just your average Word user & I don't know what
version you're using but...
In Word 2002 the Find option has a tickbox for 'Highlight
all items found in".
If you tick this you can choose "Text boxes in main
document".
Assuming all text boxes have something in them you can
search for a space, or 'any character' under special
characters - ^?

Does this help??

An intriguing newsreader that can convert "Suzanne" into "Susan." <g>

Whoops! That's the problem with touch typing - sometimes
the fingers move before the brain does

FWIW, I'm used to it. <g>
