I want to bind "Find Next" to F3, but I can't find the command in the Customize Keyboard Dialog. It's easy enough to add "Find Next" to the Ribbon, but that did not allow me to bind a key to it.

Please point me in the right direction so I don't have to use my mouse. And yes, I want it to be F3, not Alt-Y or Control-PGUP/PGDOWN. Get off my lawn! :-)

If no one else can find it, I guess a macro is the next step.

It is “Commands Not in the Ribbon” –> “RepeatFind”.  (Of course you can also find it under “All Commands”.)  And by the way, it is bound to Shift+F4 by default.

Try these two macros for both directional searches:

Public Sub FindPrev()
  Selection.Find.Execute Forward:=False
End Sub
Public Sub FindNext()
  Selection.Find.Execute Forward:=True
End Sub
