Default Word 2007 SP1, highlighting disappears

Hi Suzanne,

I'm guessing, that this may have been an attempt, by combining two controls into one, to clear up confusion some folks had that
'Find All' didn't find 'all' it only found all of the items in the currently selected region. For example, if you selected 'main
document', 'Find All' didn't include the header and footer area.

Selecting 'Find in'=Main document, without turning on the 'Reading Highlight' should select all of the matches in the document

But then they left the 'Replace All' button unchanged on the other tab of the same dialog g. I was expecting them to match the
change there. If you have first done a find in a certain region then switch to /replace\ and click [Replace][Replace All] 'All'
means in the selection/selected area, if no 'find in' is done and active then 'all' apparently means 'all' and can catch items in
main document and in headers/footers and text boxes.

Ah, okay, now I'm finally getting it. But there is absolutely *no*
indication that this is equivalent to Find All, which I find much more
straightforward.
