A number of things can produce that result, such as inappropriate options
being enabled (Use wildcards, for example, can change how Word interprets what's in the Find what: field), or if the document contains tracked changes or certain field codes. The existence of certain characters in the text can also prevent Find from finding. More info is needed. If the document contains tracked changes, display those changes. Is it possible that "deleted" text is intervening in the text you're searching for? If it's not a tracked changes problem, it might take some detective work to try to nail down exactly what's causing find to fail. Is Find always not working? Or just stuff copied/pasted into the Find what box? Are all such Finds failing? I would start simply -- copying/pasting just a small bit of text (perhaps a single word) -- and see if that works. If so, then add to it to see if you can find out where the glitch is being introduced. -- Herb Tyson MS MVP Author of the Word 2007 Bible Blog: http://word2007bible.herbtyson.com Web: http://www.herbtyson.com "Gokul" wrote in message ...
