Why would this happen?

I'm using Word 2003. The document contains revisions, and I'm in Final view,
so the revisions are not visible.

Why would Find find text but Replace doesn't? Shouldn't Find an Replace work
exactly the same way?

Thanks.

Did you type something into the Replace box?

Why do you mention the Track Changes? Find won't find Changes when the
Changes aren't visible.

Yes, I typed the same thing into the Replace box that I typed into the Find
box.

I mentioned Track Changes only in an attempt to mention anything which might
be relevant. This *shouldn't* be relevant, but perhaps is. My target text
*is* visible.

The weird thing is that Find finds it, but Replace does not. It's the same
target text, no special search options or formatting in the Find or Replace.
For both Find and Replace, I type it into the Find or Replace box. Yet Find
finds it, and Replace doesn't. I can't figure out why.

Do we have to guess what the find string is that you cannot find?

It's two spaces. Find finds it, Replace does not.

And what are you replacing it with?
