I have MS Office Word 2003. My "find" (CTRL-F) and "find and replace"
(CTRL-H) functions are no longer working. That is, when I type either of
those two shortcuts, the "find and replace" input box does come up on the
screen, but when I type in a word and hit enter or click "find," nothing
happens.

Any ideas? I have a final exam coming up so any help would be much
appreciated.

Did you protect your document? Search doesn't work in a protected document.

Thanks for the help. As it turns out, after I restarted my computer it
started working again.
