[QUOTE="chillyspoon, post: 1469905, member: 283025"] I've been encountering this problem on and off for a couple of years. When you're working with a large document it is infuriating. Particularly because, you might have some text on the clipboard which you want to search for; so you hit "Cmd - F" followed by "Cmd - V" and: 1) the text *sometimes* will appear in the document content instead of the search field 2) *sometimes* nothing happens at all, the text is not pasted anywhere 3) *sometimes* will appear in the search field The only solution when it happens for me it to close and re-open Word. By the way, I have seen this on multiple installations - it's no edge-case quirk - it's a straight up bug. [/QUOTE]
