Whenever I perform a find (ctrl+f) operation through the navigation pane, Word seems to always default to the "document map tab" or "headings tab". It is then burdensome having to click on the "results tab" everytime I perform a search routine.

Hence, I'd like to default to the "results tab" for my search operations, as shown in attached image.



Or is there short cut key that sends me directly to the find results tab in the navigation pane?

If you close the navigation pane before doing your search it will open on the results tab. If it is already on the results tab when you do your search, it will remain on that tab.
