I think the problem is in how you are doing the searching. Word doesn't
normally have any problem finding rotated text. What are you searching for, and what search expression are you using? "ladyinred" wrote in message ...

Word has difficulty dealing with text in text boxes. Find and Replace will
search all stories of a document if you use Replace All but not if you use Find Next. -- Suzanne S.

I tested it before posting, to see if rotated text in a text box made any
difference. It didn't. Find Next worked just fine. Word 2000/Windows 2000. "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote in message ... Word has difficulty dealing with text in text boxes.

Does Find Next also find text in headers/footers, footnotes/endnotes, etc?
My experience in Word 97/2002 was that it did not. -- Suzanne S.

Hi Suzanne, tested this further and found that the critical issue is the
Search setting. If this is set to 'All', then Find next works as it should, finding the word in body, header, footer, textbox, and footnote. BUT: if Search is set to 'Up' or 'Down' then the search is indeed restricted to the body. "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote in message ...

Since I use the Browse arrows, they are automatically Find Next/Find
Previous, which means search is limited to up or down. Thanks for the clarification. -- Suzanne S.

Along this line... I am following the following rules yet my find function
is still note finding words in my footnotes. Why would this be? http://office.microsoft.com/assistan...roduct=wrd2003 Use the following tips to make sure you've correctly specified the search text or formatting. On the Edit menu, click Find or Replace, click More, and then specify the text or formatting in the Find what box. Type the search text correctly. Make sure you didn't mistype the text or add extra spaces before or after it. Specify the formatting correctly. If you want to remove the search formatting, click No Formatting. Don't select text before starting the search. Otherwise, Microsoft Word searches through only the selected text. Select All in the Search box. If you select Up or Down, Word searches through only the main document (not headers (header and footer: A header, which can consist of text or graphics, appears at the top of every page in a section. A footer appears at the bottom of every page. Headers and footers often contain page numbers, chapter titles, dates, and author names.), footnotes, comments (comment: A note or annotation that an author or reviewer adds to a document. Microsoft Word displays the comment in a balloon in the margin of the document or in the Reviewing Pane.), and so on). Clear the Match case check box. If this check box is selected, Word finds only text with the specified capitalization (for example, if you search for "Most", Word won't find "most" or "MOST"). Clear the Find whole words only check box. If this check box is selected, Word finds only complete words (for example, if you search for "enter", Word won't find "entertain"). Clear the Use wildcards check box. If this check box is selected, Word interprets some characters (for example, "?") as wildcard characters. __________ "Suzanne S.

Note also don't use the Browse arrows. Also, what should happen is that
Word searches the entire main text, then goes back and begins searching the notes from the beginning. So it may just be a problem with expectations? Unless you put the cursor in the footnotes and then run the find, in which case it will go through all the footnotes and then stop, I believe. On 8/12/04 12:45 PM, "mn4az" wrote: Along this line...

My method of using find is to: Ctrl - F, type the word I want to find and
click find next. Search is set to all with all the search check boxes deselected. Based on Suzanne's thread I was under the impression that how I am doing things would find words in the main body and footnotes. Suzanne (or someone else) would you please clarify.
