Thank you all for the suggestions and research. Shravani - I do see the behavior you describe and afterward, the text makes better sense. As an "end user" I think this behavior is very confusing. I would expect the Find/Replace to work as described in Find and Replace Paragraph Styles. I will have to let this sink in and see if I can find a better way to describe it for those first using it. The expectation of choices popping up in the Find and the Replace boxes really threw me off and I think it may throw others off who are first using the software. I welcome any suggestions or opinions. Thanks again! Toni
