When you press CTRL + F, and the ''Find %26 Replace'' box pops up, click on the ''More'' button at the bottom.

Are any of the Search Options, such as ''Match case'', checked? That could effect your search.

So, if your document has ''Tom'' in it, but you type ''tom'' in the ''Find %26 Replace'' box with the ''Match case'' option checked, it won't find ''Tom''.

If you are searching for ''Tom went to the store.'', MSWord will only find instances where all the words ''Tom went to the store.'' are ALL ON ONE LINE. So, if there's a place in your document that looks like this:

.....text text text text text text text Tom went

to the store. Text text text text text .....

It won't find ''Tom went to the store.''

Try clicking on the More button for extra options and select Match Case from the list.
