Find and replace JUST in selected text, not the entire document (word 2011)

D

In previous versions of Word, including 2008, if you selected text
and
hit cmd-shift-H, you could find and replace text just within that
text, not
replace the text in the entire document. I'm not seeing how this is
now possible in Word 2011. If I select text and do Find and Replace,
it invariably finds the instances in the selected text, but replaces
nonetheless throughout the document. This is a problem. Am I missing
something in Word 2011 to change this behavior? Thanks.
