Show selected Find/Next text fully in window vs. only beginning

When using track changes or find-replace selected or highlighted text which
extends to one or more lines ends up beyond the window, i.e. the reference
point for the selected text is at the beginning of the text so that the end
may not be visible without the extra step of scrolling down to view the
entire highlighted text.

This occurs with every version of Word I have used - most recently Word XP
Professional. I suggest at least having an option which allows the find or
track changes to reference (or automatically advance the view point) to the
end of a highlighted/selected text to reduce the number of separate
operations required to edit a reviewed document.

This is a common complaint, though the specifics seem to vary with version.
I find, for example, that usually the found text is on the top line of the
screen so that I can't see the preceding context. This seems to be a feature
that MS just can't quite get right.
