Default MS Word 2003 Find Function Bug

In a new Word Document having typed One, Two, Three, Four & Five on the
same line, when CTRL+F is selected to begin the Find function; Enter
'One' and it will 'Find' one, this becomes highlighted. Enter 'Two' and
this is found and becomes highlighted. However, Enter 'One' again, it
cannot find it: 'Word has finished searching the document'.

Within the CTRL+F search options, 'All' is selected (instead of Up or
Down) and all items are un-ticked.

If nothing is highlighted it will search up and down for an item,
however, when an item, e.g. 'Two', is highlighted it will only search
'Down' for the next item; as an example: I can Find Three but not One
when Two is highlighted.

I think this might be 'by design' but want to check if anyone else has
noticed this as an issue or has a fix for it.

This was noticed only after realising there is a problem with the
CTRL+F function being unable to find any words in certain Word
documents, even though the word is clearly visible in the document.

Any help is most appreciated in understanding this issue and whether
there is anything that can be done to resolve it.
