 * Click anywhere in the Find and Replace dialog box.

-or-
 * Press any key on your keyboard to return the focus to the Find and Replace dialog box.

The balloon message is closed, the focus is returned to the Find and Replace dialog box, and the Cancel button changes to Close.

The balloon message that appears after you complete a find and replace operation does not include an OK or a Close button.

If you click in the document while the balloon message is visible, you get a system beep.
