Default Find text doesn't work in Word in text copied from otherdocument

In your Find dialog, reveal the Advanced settings and check that all of them
are OFF. Also: be careful of hidden spaces. Spaces do not show in the Find
dialog but they are significant (they do count...)

Cheers

I have a document in which I cut-and-pasted paragraphs from a document I
received from someone else. The find function is not finding text in the
copied sections. The formats are the same and I can't see any parameter that
differs between the sections I wrote and the pasted sections.
