Narrowed down the problem by testing in Word 2002.

I type the word "Potrzebie" in a document somewhere. If I do the following:
* Turn on Record A Macro, hit CTRL-F to call up Find, and search for the text string Potrzebie

it works, both while recording and as a macro.

I change Potrzebie to Heading 6 style. If I do the following:
* Turn on Record A Macro, hit CTRL-F to call up Find, and search for the text string Potrzebie

it works, both while recording and as a macro.

But if I:
* Turn on Record A Macro, hit CTRL-F to call up Find, and search for the text style Heading 6,

it works when I'm recording but DOES NOT WORK as a macro.

This:

Code:

Selection.Find.Style = ActiveDocument.Styles("style name here")

is generated by Word 2002's own Record a Macro code but does not appear to work in Word 2002.

Thoughts? Workarounds? Icepicks to my skull?
