Default Find-and-Replace Doesn't Work

Thanks for the suggestion, but none of the words/phrases has any formatting
that differs from the rest of the document, and there's nothing about
formatting in the find box.

Take a look under the find box. Is there anything about formatting?

I'm using Word 2003; I have a very large document and needed to replace
both
words and phrases. When I used the find-and-replace feature I got a
pop-up
indicating that no instances were found, even though I could clearly see
one
of them on the screen at the time I performed the search. I tried "match
case" and "find whole words only", and even tried searching for partial
words/phrases. However, I still had no success. Is there some secret to
using this feature that I haven't discovered? Thanks for any help.
