SYMPTOMS
When selecting a text block to do a Find and Replace, the Find and Replace function will apply to the whole document instead of to the selected text block.



CAUSE
When text is selected to do a Find and Replace, the "Look In field" is set to Current Document instead of Current Selection. The dialog box is sized by default such that the "Look in field" is not visible. Selecting Replace All will replace all instances in the entire document by default.



RESOLUTION
Expand the Find and Replace dialog box so that the "Look In field" is visible and change it to the Current Selection.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a bug in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article.



Steps to Reproduce Behavior

 * 1) Open an HTML document in Source view.
 * 2) Select a few lines of text.
 * 3) From the Edit menu, select Find and Replace.
 * 4) Expand the Find and Replace dialog box so that the "Look In field" is visible.
