Find in Text Boxes

R

I need to use the find method to search a document for a certain string. I
have found that the search does not include text boxes and I need it to.

On my PC (using Word 2000) if I create a text box and populate it with the
word 'Hello' and then use the find function, it is found in the text box.

If I use vba to find, it does not find it in the text box. Even if I record
a macro of the successful manual find, when I play the macro the find is not
found.

Can anyone shed any light on this?
