Greetings,

I make frequent use of shortcut keys, e.g., Ctrl + F, Ctrl + H.

When I apply Ctrl + F in MS Word 2016, the very annoying "Navigation" pane (or, as I prefer, "Navigation pain") shows up.

This does not happen when I apply Ctrl + H; instead, it pops up the familiar (and much more user-friendly) "Find" "Replace" Go To" interface that I have used for years.

When I want to find something in MS Word 2016, I have been using "Ctrl + H", then clicking on the "Find" tab.

How do I disable the "Navigation" pane permanently, so that when I select "Ctrl + F", this will pull up the "Find what:" box as in prior versions of MS Word?



Thanks for your time and attention.
