Find and Replace works only intermittently
Even when I copy a word from the document into the Find field, it cannot find
it. Any fixes? |

Find and Replace works only intermittently
One of the most common reasons for Find and Replace appearing not to work is
that the document contains undisplayed tracked changes, and undisplayed "deleted" text is preventing Find and Replace from seeing what's actually there. (The same thing can happen if text formatted as Hidden occurs in the search text, and Hidden text is set not to display.) -- Herb Tyson MS MVP Author of the Word 2007 Bible Blog: http://word2007bible.herbtyson.com Web: http://www.herbtyson.com "Kister" wrote in message ...

There aren't any track changes or hidden text. This happens quite frequently,
but unpredictably. I re-boot and it often works after that.
