Hi Suzanne, tested this further and found that the critical issue is the
Search setting. If this is set to 'All', then Find next works as it should,
finding the word in body, header, footer, textbox, and footnote. BUT: if
Search is set to 'Up' or 'Down' then the search is indeed restricted to the
body.
