I can't find this functionality in my 2000-version.
Is it possibel to search backwards in another version?

From the Find dialog (CTRL+F) click 'More' and you will find a dropdown that
allows you to search up or down or all.

Does 2000 have the go-to arrows just below the down-arrow below the
scroll bar on the right? (A double triangle, a circle, and a double
triangle) Clicking the double triangles takes you to whatever you last
searched for, the upper one to the previous one, the lower one to the
next one. If you haven't searched for anything since you opened Word,
it'll take you to the previous/next page. The circle between them lets
you choose what the double-triangles take you to.

Thanks, Graham.
I think the design of this functionality is bad, since all doesn't tell me
anything.
It should be only two choices, forward and backward.
Or even better; two buttons for finding next and previous.
It's clumsy to have to change a setting just because I want to go back to
the previous occurence I found.

The buttons for Find Next and Find Previous are at the bottom of the
vertical scroll bar.
