Faster finding and other document tweaks

Today we added a few features to the new version of the Google document editor.

Faster find
When you press Ctrl+F (⌘+F on Macs) you’ll see a drop-down box where you can type the word or phrase you’re looking for in your doc. As you type, all the matches in the doc will be highlighted and you can press to jump to the next match.

If you want more advanced find options or if you want to replace text, you can access the full Find and Replace dialog from the Edit menu.

Headings in the toolbar
We also added Paragraph Styles to the toolbar. This makes it much easier to quickly apply headings to things you’ve selected in your doc, or to change your selection to normal text.

Bookmarks in the link dialog
Finally, we added bookmarks to the link dialog. If you go into that dialog, you’ll see a list of all the bookmarks in your document and the snippet of text that’s near that bookmark.

Let us know if you have feedback on the forums.
