atw: MS Word Search?

I'm obviously doing something wrong, guys.  I have a healthy dislike of =
MS,
fed on bugs galore, but this strikes me as being over and above a =
program
bug.

If I perform a find and replace on a phrase (2 words), Word finds far =
fewer
instances of the phrase than if I perform a find on the exact same =
phrase.
So far my best results are coming from running a find, switching to the
'replace' tab, replacing the phrase with the correct one, then switching
back to the find tab.  Of course (or maybe it's not that obvious) =
whenever I
perform a replacement, Word takes me to the next instance that 'find and
replace' can discover, not the next actual instance!

(is this making sense so far?)

I don't have it set for a particular format - although it may possibly =
be
searching only one text style?  Huh?  Can anyone tell me what I might've
done to traumatise Word so?
