Office 365 Excel 2016 - Find and replace window

Hi,

I might be picky but in 2010 version, the Find and Replace window was much better developed. With 2016 version it seems to be "always on top" and I could not find any option to turn it off so it can disappear as soon as i click on the spreadsheet.

Also it seems the text that is already there, it does not highlight at each call of the window.

I do a lot of work in cross checking and replacing and it is proper annoying but as its company decision I cant go back to older(in my opinion better) version.

 

Is there any fix? Why would always on top become a standard when the shortcut for it is very simple and convinient?

 

Regards

Jakub

  • the keyboard shortcut ctrl+h opens the search and replace pop up. whenever you want to close it you could do a ctrl+h and then press esc
    Does that work for you?

      Thanks - it is actually good solution ( not sure why i did not think of it).

       

      So there is no way of making it work like it was in 2010 version of the program?
