Hello Raj, I'm working with Frame 7.2 (not 8.0), but I would suspect the things I've noticed will have carried over into version 8. When using "Find", pay attention to the options in the "Find" dialog box. If you have text selected, I believe the default is to only search the selected text. "Consider Case", "Whole Word", and "Find Backward" can also play little tricks on how the search function works.
If you're searching for things other than "Text:", you must be even more careful. There are nearly two-dozen types of searches including: formats, markers, cross references and a bunch of others. Each of those requires careful attention to entering the right search parameters, but they can be powerful tools, enabling you to search and replace very efficiently. If you're still stuck, I'd be willing to take a look at a specific file and see if I can replicate your problem here with version 7.2.

Any idea why this bug occurs? Is there a workaround for this? Raj _________________________________________________________________ Windows 7: Simplify what you do everyday.
