I have a document in which I cut-and-pasted paragraphs from a document I
received from someone else. The find function is not finding text in the
copied sections. The formats are the same and I can't see any parameter that
differs between the sections I wrote and the pasted sections.

In your Find dialog, reveal the Advanced settings and check that all of them
are OFF. Also: be careful of hidden spaces. Spaces do not show in the Find
dialog but they are significant (they do count...)

Cheers

With the advanced settings visible, also click on "No Formatting" in case
your Find is being limited to certain formats only.

Thanks for the suggestion, but I'd already done this. In any case, the
problem corrected itself magically after I exited Word and restarted.

Are you sure the pasted text is text and not a graphic?
