Hi Michelle,

There are numerous possible explanations, including:
1. If you've previously done done a 'Find' with any formatting specified, the specified formats are tained until you tell Word otherwise, by clicking on the 'No Formatting' button.
2. If your Find expression includes a paragraph break but the text to Find is in a table cell and terminates with the end-of-cell marker.
3. If the text in the document spans some hidden text but the Find expression looking for it doesn't include the hidden text.
