'Find' doesn't find anything (Office XP SP1)

[Grant]

I have a VB program that searches through a Word document
for a string and this worked fine until Office XP SP1
came along and now it returns no search results.
It doesn't generate an error, just tells me no occurences
have been found.

Is this a known problem?

Hi Grant

I don't know what causes your problem, but you might want to take a look at two MVP articles

"Clear settings from Find and Replace dialog to prevent unexpected results from future Find or Replace operations" at http://www.mvps.org/word/FAQs/MacrosVBA/ClearFind.ht

"Flush bad karma from Word's find facility after an unsuccessful wildcard search" at http://www.mvps.org/word/FAQs/MacrosVBA/FlushFR.ht
