Using Ctrl+F in new messages

Some users are confused by the behavior of Ctrl+F in Outlook 2007 - sometimes it brings up the Find dialog, other times it Forwards the message. 

When the cursor is in the message body, Ctrl+F brings up the Find and Replace dialog.

When the cursor is in the message header area, it opens a new copy of the message for Forwarding. If you use Forward as attachment (Tools, Options, Preferences tab, Email Options button) the message will be added to a new message as an attachment.

More Information

Other shortcuts whose behavior varies based on where the cursor is:

Ctrl+K - this resolves address when in the header area or opens the Insert Hyperlink dialog when in the message body.  Use Alt+K to resolve addresses instead.
