Find & Replace formating

Any suggestions? Problem with Find & Replace and formating.


Sally tried to do a find and replace with the following: find "US",
replace with "United States." Instead of replacing it as she has
indicated, it replaced it with UNITED STATES. When she undid this and
tried to do it again, she looked at the more specific find/replace
options (where you can search for a certain format)--in that section,
all of the format boxes under "effects" were checked. (I'm not ever
sure how that is possible. Superscript AND subscript?) She unchecked
them, ran the find replace again, and got the same result--UNITED
STATES instead of United States.

The checkbox that controls this is in the Find dialog itself--in the
expanded dialog section, use the "match case" box. I forget whether
checked or unchecked is necessary, but I've had this happen to me and
fixed it in the past.

.... You need the Match Case box to be checked. It isn't a matter of
_formatting_, it's a matter of case structure.
