Word 2007 SP1, highlighting disappears
Hi Suzanne,
I'm guessing, that this may have been an attempt, by combining two controls into one, to clear up confusion some folks had that 'Find All' didn't find 'all' it only found all of the items in the currently selected region. For example, if you selected 'main document', 'Find All' didn't include the header and footer area. Selecting 'Find in'=Main document, without turning on the 'Reading Highlight' should select all of the matches in the document But then they left the 'Replace All' button unchanged on the other tab of the same dialog g. I was expecting them to match the change there. If you have first done a find in a certain region then switch to /replace\ and click [Replace][Replace All] 'All' means in the selection/selected area, if no 'find in' is done and active then 'all' apparently means 'all' and can catch items in main document and in headers/footers and text boxes. ================ "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote in message ... Ah, okay, now I'm finally getting it. But there is absolutely *no* indication that this is equivalent to Find All, which I find much more straightforward. -- Suzanne S.

Your explanation may be correct, but considering that the dropdown is right
under "Highlight all items found it" and Find All is active only when that check box is checked, I never found that confusing at all. The new setup is much more confusing to me. -- Suzanne S.
