SYMPTOMS
When you use the Find or Replace commands, and you specify your search to include All Open Documents, Microsoft Word 2001 may not find all instances of the item that you search for.

 * There are multiple Word documents open.
 * One of the documents contains a text box.
 * The Find or Replace command is started while the cursor is inside a text box.
 * The All Open Documents search option is selected in the Find and Replace dialog box. (Click More to see the search options.)



WORKAROUND
To work around this issue, click the main body of the document to move the cursor out of the text box, and then click Find or Replace on the Edit menu.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in Microsoft Word 2001 for Mac.
