Search and replace

Two problems, working in a text file:

1. I'm having no luck at all with the [Ctrl] + F search-and-replace 
function. It just never works, period. Strange.

2. Selecting words in a line, using [Ctrl]+[Shift]+{[LeftArrow] or 
[RightArrow]}, I find that the "...+[RightArrow] function initial 
selects TWO words instead of one. One then has to do a [LeftArrow] to 
get the cursor where it should be in the first place.

I'm working on a WinXP machine.
