Default Spellchecker not replacing all instances

Hi Group,

I'm having a really screwy problem with MS Word (97, 2003 and 2010), but only with one document. The text is written in Elizabethan English (c. 1630) and has many archaic words that need to be replaced. The Word spell checker spots most of these, and supplies a modernized version as a possible replacement. However when I select "Change All" it only replaces the first instance of the word.

I've tried several versions of Word; I've removed all formatting. Nothing seems to work. However for other documents I don't seem to have this problem.

The document is only 6 pages long, but, obviously, has a huge number of 'misspelled' (archaic) words. The only explanation I can think of is that maybe some buffer is being maxed out.

Any suggestions for what might be wrong and how to fix it would be most appreciated!

John
