Default Find & replace in headers and footers

Hello there. When I try to do a find and replace by pressing Ctrl+Home and
Ctrl+H, I don't always get the find and replace feature to work in headers
and footers. Why is that? Do I need to write a macro to ensure that headers
and footers get included all the time in find and replace? Thanks.

If the content you are trying to replace in your headers/footers also
appears in the body of the document, is it amenable to using the StyleRef
field to put it in the header/footer? Then when it is replaced in the body,
that change will be reflected in the header/footer.
