Default Find What Text jumps around

I'm searching for underlined text and replacing with the same text but with
a code at the beginning and end. So, for example, if I find the underlined
word "Bulletin", I want to replace it with "UBulletinU*".

I search for Format: Underline and Replace with U^&U*. This has worked
great for me for years, but today I ran into a file in which it doesn't
quite work. Word has no problem finding the underlined words, but when it
replaces, it moves the Find What Text into other places, sometimes before
the code, sometimes in the middle of the code, so I might end up with
something like "UBulletinU*".

Does anyone know why this might be happening?
