RE: Fun with Word

[Paul Hanson <phanson -at- Quintrex -dot- com>]

I like Word except when it does stuff that makes no sense.

I had to replace the phrase "Client Relations Specialist" with "Account Manager." I searched my network drive where I store all my docs directory and found ~80 Word docs with "Client Relations Specialist."

I went through each, replaced "CRS" with "AM" in all docs, recreated the PDFs.

I then did another search for "Client Relations Specialist" in the same directory - I should have 0 hits - before moving on to the next thing on my list.

Windows search found 3 Word docs. Opened each doc. Searched for "Relations" and no hits in any of the three docs.

I saved the docs - thinking the search of the network drive may just have been out-of-date - an opened a new Search window.

Same thing.

I changed the view in Word in each doc to be "Final Showing Markup."

I have comments visible.

I clicked the little paragraph symbol. I clicked to have hidden text display.

Searched again.

Same thing. Three docs show up as having "Client Relations Specialist" inside it.

I like Word except when it does stuff that makes no sense.
