How Do I Activate the Word Navigation (Search) Task Pane in a Macro?

  I'm using Word 2010 (up-to-date version 14, 32 bit) under Windows 7 (64 bit).  I would like to write a macro in Word to open the Navigation (search) task pane and "activate" it (so that the insertion point is flashing in the Search Docuent field).  This can be done manually with the mouse by clicking Home, Find.  But for some reason the macro recorder won't record that.

  So far, I've got the following macro that opens the task pane, but doesn't activate it:

  Sub DocumentMap()
  ActiveWindow.DocumentMap = True
  xxx

  'Command attempts that failed:
  '  ActiveDocument.ActiveWindow.Panes(2).Activate
  '  ActiveDocument.ActiveWindow.Panes(0).Activate
  '  ActiveWindow.DocumentMap.SetFocus
  '  CommandBars("Navigation").SetFocus

  End Sub

  Can you suggest what I should replace the xxx with to activate the pane?

  Thanks for your help,
