Word having trouble with 'Find in document'
I am currently editing a long document (around 70K words). Using the search function in MS Word to get to the section I need to edit is hugely valuable. Yet lately, Word fails around 50% of the time to 'Find' the word or phrase I enter in the search window, even though I know 100% it is there. Any ideas how to make this work better?

Which version of Word are you running? In Word for Windows, try the classic Find & Replace dialog box (Ctrl+H). If you have previously used the Find tab of the Navigation pane, the dialog box may be more reliable.
