Default Find text doesn't work in Word in text copied from other docum

Thanks for the suggestion, but I'd already done this. In any case, the
problem corrected itself magically after I exited Word and restarted.

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

differs between the sections I wrote and the pasted sections.
