Does it actually select the wrong text, or does it just display the
black selection rectangle in the wrong place? In other words, when you
replace the text, does the correct text get replaced? 
I've seen this happen, and it always turned out to be a display problem
rather than FM selecting the wrong text. 
Another way to find out what's happening: change the zoom level, or do
Ctrl-L to redraw the screen.

FWIW, this isn't just a 7.2 problem. I've been experiencing the same
thing since 5.something. Annoying, yes, but I just do the same thing as
Rebecca. If anybody knows a way to stop this behavior on Frame's part
permanently, I would be grateful.

Yes, see the problem. :-( No, don't have a fix. :-(( 

But when it happens, I click on the beginning of the page it stopped at
and re-start the search. That keeps it happy, at least for a moment.

Is there any change in behaviour when the maker.ini setting for using
printer font metrics is ON?
As in:
; line, you should change this setting to On which results in the
; the use of printer font metrics when displaying lines.

No, that doesn't prevent the problem. And it is strictly a display
problem -- the correct text is in fact selected. So, if you're trusting
and brave, you can go ahead and click Replace. :-)

Hello Framers,

I recently upgraded to FM 7.2b144 (I'm running Windows XP). Yesterday I was
working in a document that is a single table. In using the Find feature to
locate various text strings, sometimes FM would highlight the exact text,
and sometimes it would stop in a cell above the cell containing the text.

Has anyone else seen this behavior and is a fix available? I looked on
adobe.com but didn't see anything on the downloads page.

Thanks for any information on this issue.

If the FrameMaker file originated in Microsoft Word, try saving as MIF; 
open the MIF file, and save again as .fm.

Alternatively, try using Find backwards.

Not related to text searches, but a search for paragraph tags in a table is 
known to skip every other instance (Find backwards is of help here as well).
