You have a valid question as to why I was using Replace instead of Find, although I was wanting to find all instances and check each one to make sure it was correct - in some cases I would want to replace the single quotation mark with a double one.
#MICROSOFT WORD FIND AND REPLACE GOTO TAB UPDATE#
This might just be a coincidence, but I didn't have a problem until a couple of days ago, and that happens to be when I installed the Windows Update titled Service Pack 1 for Microsoft Word 2010 (KB2510690) (4) If I use Ctrl-F, which brings up the search box on the left and try my search from thereĪlso, if I search for an apostrophe followed by a space (instead of the reverse), I have no problems, even if Track Changes is on and using balloons and I use the Replace tab in the dialog box. (3) If, in the Search and Replace dialog box, I use the Find tab instead of the Replace tab (even if I have Track Changes on and showing Balloons) Instances where the search does work correctly: I can't find anything in common among the instances it does recognize - some are changes I made (I inserted the apostrophe or changed an apostrophe to an opening single quotation mark), some are unchanged from the original text.
There's nothing clicked in the More options (no wildcards, no MatchĬase, etc.) But when I do the search by clicking "Find Next" it only finds the first 4 instances, then reports that "Word has finished searching the document." I can actually see the next instance of the search term on the same line, but Word doesn't recognize There's nothing in the Replace With field. The problem: I'm searching for a space followed by an apostrophe (or single opening quotation mark), so that's what I put in the Find What field. When the problem happens: When using the Search and Replace dialog box - specifically, when using the Replace tab in that box, with Track Changes on and showing revisions in balloons. This problem started a couple of days ago.
