Positioning the cursor when using "Find"

[Joanne]

When doing a find operation is it possible to position the cursor at the
beginning of the found text? In WordPerfect there was an option to put the
cursor at the beginning or end of the text. I need to test if a found number
is at the first position on a line.
Thanks very much for your help.

I'm going to assume you recorded a macro to get the basic "Find" code you're
working with. In this case, then, when the text is found, it's selected, right?

So, put this line in after all the Find stuff, and it should work:
