Default 'Find What:' problems

I correct many manuscripts using the 'Find What' option. It isn't working
all the time these days. There is one thing with the box that is different.
Below the 'Find What' line it has - format: Style: WW-Strong. I can't
figure out how to get rid of that but the find option works when it isn't
there.

Default 'Find What:' problems

In the Find and Replace dialog box, click in the "Find what" field. Click the
"More" button, then click the "No Formatting" button at the bottom of the
dialog box. This should clear the format info.

Information is written below the "Find what" and "Replace with" fields if
you search for something selected from the "Format" menu at the bottom of the
dialog box.

In this instance, pressing Ctrl+Spacebar in the "Find what" box would
probably work as well.
