Find/Replace gives that message. Help should give a long list of sections
that contain your search string, say, page number. Try it in Help rather
than your document.

I think that your paragraph style maybe have been changed. Check that the
style you use has the font you want otherwise you get the effect you are
describing. For info on styles see
http://documentation.openoffice.org/manuals.

Not really necessary. The manuals are on-line for download or purchase in
multiple formats plus the site has FAQs and HOW0-TOs that should also help
you make your experience more pleasant.
