How to make a macro for FindNext in Word 2007?

[Please Help!]

How do I make a macro for FindNext in Word 2007? I'd like it to work with the
function key F3, and remember the search term from one document to another
until there's a differenet search or Word is closed.

Thanks!

How about just adding Find (a pair of binoculars) to the Quick Access
Toolbar.

You mean if you've searched for something, closed the dialog, and want to
find the next occurrence?

There's already a built-in command for that, BrowseNext, with the keyboard
shortcut Ctrl+PgDown.
It does keep working if you change between documents.

You could assign another shortcut for it, say F3 (which is by default the
shortcut to insert AutoText, that is, it replaces the name of an AutoText
with its content).

After you close the Find and Replace dialog, it still remembers its last
successful search settings and Ctrl + Alt + Y or Shift + F4 will repeat a
find.

Thanks... wasn't aware of that command.
BrowseNext and BrowsePrev (Ctrl+PageDown, Ctrl+PageUp) have the added bonus
of being able to choose the direction of the search.

Guess it depends what shortcuts you're used to.
If you use F4 a lot to repeat stuff, Shift+F4 is easy to remember. If you
use the Browser a lot (searches, pages, sections, tables, comments,
footnotes), the Browser shortcuts may be familiar.
