Default problem with find and replace

I've got about 170 uses of the word Sandhill crane in one doc. I am trying to change to sandhill crane (no caps), but find and replace will not do it. I tried replacing "Sandhill crane" with "custard" and then replacing "custard" with "sandhill crane" but no go. Each time it tells me it's made the replacements but keeps giving me the S in caps. Any ideas?

Thanks,
Grus

Default problem with find and replace

Have you clicked on the More button in the Find and Replace dialog and
checked the Match case box?

After doing that here, Sandhill crane is replaced by sandhill crane when
those words are inserted into the Find what and Replace with controls
respectively.

Hope this helps.

There is no problem. You press Ctrl plus F, Type in the box what you want to find and just find it.

When I want to replace a word occuring several times i a Word document, this happens:

1. I write the word I want to find. This works OK.
2. Then I click the button "replace" and I always get this message:
3. "There is not enough memory or disk space to complete the operation"
4. I have plenty memory...

Does anyone know how to solve this?
