I've also had the same problem but resolved it by reassigning the keyboard shortcut. There are a few ways to get to that point. One is File > Options > Customize Ribbon, then press the Customize button for keyboard shortcuts. Choose the Home Tab from the categories and EditFind in the commands list. Press Ctrl+F and click on the Assign button, making sure you are saving changes in the Normal template, if that's what you want. You can now close that window and the one below (Word Options).

I saw the option, but thought the EditFind was the command to bring up the Nav Pane so it wouldn't help. I thought there would be some other option EditFindAdvanced I had to assign a shortcut to: there isn't!
Thanks for the forum, apologies for this superfluous thread.
