My apologies if the answer to this is available anywhe I've searched and
can't find it.

I'm using Word 2000 under windows XP Pro SP2.

I've just tried (for the first time) a global Find and Replace for two
different styles. I enter the style names in the Find and Replace box with
no problem, click on Replace All and the message box reports that Word "has
made 1017 replacements". Great - except that it hasn't. The original style
is still there and hasn't been changed at all.

If I immediately click on Replace All again, the same thing happens: "1017
replacements" are reported.

What am I lkely to be doing wrong, please?

The styles involved are very straightforward, simple, short formatting
instructions.

Many thanks in advance for any thoughts.

Bert
