Find in Word (macOS)

Press Command + F to search for text in the document.

What it does

On Windows the Navigation pane opens at the left with a search field. Every match is highlighted in the text and listed in the pane with the words around it, and a click on an entry jumps there. On a Mac the search field in the corner of the window does the same. The pane can also list the headings and the pages of the document.
