If you are performing a find-and-replace operation on a selection and
choose Replace All after having chosen Replace or Find Next, Word continues
replacing past the selection to the end of the document.
STATUSMicrosoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article. MORE INFORMATION
If you select a range of text and then, in the Replace dialog box, click
Replace All or any combination of Replace and Find Next, replacing only
takes place within the selection. You then see a dialog box asking if you
want to continue replacing beyond the selection.
If, however, you select a range of text and then click Replace or Find
Next, followed by Replace All in the Replace dialog box, Word does not stop
after the selection but replaces to the end of the document.
