<HTML><BODY style="word-wrap: break-word; -khtml-nbsp-mode: space; -khtml-line-break: after-white-space; ">Let's give an example where I'm searching in a tabular document that is several hundred pages long, composed of multiple rows and columns of dense text. I search for a word that occurs 100 times. <DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV>I'd like to be able to enter that string into the "find" text box, have Preview do its magic and display all of the resulting hits in the "serach" column..and be able to simply click on each instance and be able to zero in on the highlighted word in the table itself. Unfortunately, the text itself is difficult to find in the table, because it is "highlighted" in gray. Yes, I can click in the document window, and it will then turn the color of the preferred highlight. But that's an extra step. Yes, a small extra step :-) And, yes, I know that this is following some sort of interface guideline (the search results column is the focus at that moment, so no other section is "highlighted". </DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV>But I still wish it was the other way around :-)</DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV>I've been using Macs since 1984, and I have to admit that this wasn't very intuitive. It took me coming to this forum to realize that clicking in the document would return my highlights back to color :-)</DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV>Michael</DIV><DIV><BR><DIV><DIV>On May 16, 2006, at 7:20 AM, Daly Jessup wrote:</DIV><BR class="Apple-interchange-newline"><BLOCKQUOTE type="cite"><P style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px"><FONT face="Helvetica" size="3" style="font: 12.0px Helvetica">We had what I thought was a solution to this a couple of weeks ago: type your search term. You will have a list of the "hits". Click on the document itself to move the focus from the search column. As soon as you click anywhere on the document itself, the found terms are highlighted in the selection color, not gray.<SPAN class="Apple-converted-space"> </SPAN>What more are you looking for?</FONT></P> </BLOCKQUOTE></DIV><BR></DIV></BODY></HTML>
