      Still working on a long document, tuning typography, I'm amazed to see that InDesign CS5 is lacking a Find Previous (Find/Replace panel) that would let me jump back to the mistake and fix it. Do you know a magic trick to avoid re-searching the whole document?

      Thanks & Best,

      Mathieu

      Undo? That's what I use if I'm replacing manually and think I made a mistake. Pressing Undo returns the cursor back to the last change position, Redo takes you back back.

      Find Previous has never been possible in any version of InDesign. (Okay, couldn't remember so I spend some time on the Web … neither had PageMaker!)

      It's a curious omission.

      I agree; it is a very frustrating omission. I encourage you to tell Adobe at their support/feedback page!

      Thanks for your answers. I guess, as a Quark user, I couldn't help but notice this omission. As you probably remember, this option was available in Quark Xpress. Anyway, there isn't a perfect application.

      Now, I'll report this to Adobe.
