I don't have FM 8.... But, is it possible that you have a character in your search that does not match all targets? I've been known to unthinkingly type a space after a string (or to accidentally leave a leading space when I re-use a search box), causing the search to find all occurrences of the string that are followed by a space, but to skip all occurrences that are at the end of a sentence or that are followed by a comma or semi. Same idea if you have "match case" selected and some occurrences are at the beginning of sentences or in headings. Similarly, if you have no-break-spaces in some occurrences of a string in yor document but your search text looks only for a regular space... Yeah, elementary, but it's easy to forget. - KevinThe information contained in this electronic mail transmission may be privileged and confidential, and therefore, protected from disclosure.
