Default Find and replace won't work in a table

There was nothing rude about it - your original message was vague and you
haven't elaborated since. If you want you can e-mail the document and the
requirement to the link on my web site and I will take a look.

Graham - I think your comment was rather rude. I didn't know how to
be more specific than what I had already explained!!

If the text isn't found then either you are not searching where you
think you are searching or the string you are searching for isn't in
the text. As you seem reluctant to tell us what exactly you are
doing it is not possible to advise further, but see

Luc,
I have made a very simple table where people need to replace Name
with their name and Mobile with their phone number. Its just text. I
am using the normal Find and Replace and am getting the standard
error message saying text isn't found.

Natalie,
Should work in a table, could you be more specific as to what you
are searching for and how you are going about it.

Any suggestions on why? I have tried higlighting all the text,
cleared all formatting, title cases etc but still no joy. Any help
would be greatly appreciated.
