(Word does not have the enhancement that I suggest.)

Find and Replace should have a user-definable option to determine what happens
after a successful replace:

(a) Find and highlight the next match for "Find". (This is the current 
behaviour.)

or

(b) Stop with the replaced word highlighted. The user must then press "Find" to
continue to the next word.

--------------------------------------------

The purpose of the user-defined option is that if I intend to use "Replace All"
to operate on 1,000 words, I want to try a few words "manually" to verify that
everything is OK, before I press "Replace All".

At present, the only way to check is to scroll backwards after each replacement,
to verify that the replacement is OK.

This option should be user-definable in the dialog box itself, so that it can be
changed during the same dialog session. The option should also allow each user
to set their own default. (My preferred default would always be "Stop with the
replacement highlighted.".)
