Default Find and Replace styles

Was one of the styles a character style? Or "formatting" rather than a
style?

No, nothing at all.

I've made a strange discovery. If I do the Find and Replace operation,
then go into the drop-down Styles menu and *delete* the name of the "Find"
style - then the Find and Replace is shown to have worked. The "Replace"
style is suddenly there, all the way through.

So I've sort of solved the problem, though I've really no idea what was
going on before.

Thanks for the reply.
