FIND window

I have multiple monitors set up in Windows. I must have swapped my
primary and secondary positions or something, because now when I hit
CTRL+F for FIND (or access FIND off the menu), the FIND dialog box is
off-screen.

Any ideas on how to get the FIND window to appear on-screen?


Thanks,

Jordan.
 
To fix this problem you must install at least 7 of
those wonderful "internet patches" floating
around the e-mail servers, while wearing your
tinfoil beanie. If you don't have any I'll be happy to
forward some as I get one on every ten
minutes on average.....................

Seriously I think the key combo is Windows key+F
as Ctrl F does absolutely nothing on my machines.
( nor does Alt F )

Click to expand...

Jordan,

Try this:
- Open FP
- Open the Find dialog ("Edit | Find" or "Ctrl+F")
- The dialog won't be visible, but it should have the focus
- Press "Alt+Space"
- Press "M" to activate the Move function of the window.
- The mouse cursor focus will switch to the title bar of the Find dialog.
- Without moving the mouse first (important!) click and hold the left mouse
button (assumes you're using right-handed mouse) and move the mouse until
the dialog is in a good spot then let go of the button. If you move the
mouse before clicking, or if you accidentally let go before you see the
dialog, start over.

Hope that helps.
