Lance,

First off, know that WfW is much more closely related to Word for the MAC
than it is to Word for DOS.

The equivalent to a chevron (begin field) in WfDOS is an actual Field marker,
which is insserted with Ctrl-F9.  You could use this.  If you were going to
search for the next one it would be EditSearch .Search = "^19", or even
NextField (which is f11).  But since that would find all next fields, you
might want to create a pair of macros.  One that inserts a marker (it could
be formatted as Hidden so it won't print), and one that looks for the next
occurence of that marker:

InsertMarker:
Sub Main
Hidden Hidden() ' Toggle Hidden
Insert "Holder"
Hidden Hidden()
End Sub

FindMarker
Sub Main
ViewPreferences .Hidden = 1 'Make sure hidden is on
EditSearch .Search = "PlaceHolder"
End Sub

You can then assign them both to a menu and/or a key combination,

The built in MacroAssignToKey will not allow you to assign to Ctrl->,
but a macro I wrote called MacroKey (found in GTOOLS2.ZIP) will (or
you can write a macro to assign the macro...look up MacroAssignToKey
in the TechRef, or Techref.doc)

Hope this points in a helpful direction.
