There is a third case, and that is when the search string is mixed - part 
deleted and part not.

I think we definitely have to find 'deleted' text. However, if ANY part
of the found string is a deletion, then the replacement probably needs
to be skipped.

The fact that Microsoft has the same 'problem' guarantees that this is
extremely tricky as a computer problem.

The human solution is obvious - turn off View - Show Tracked Changes
first.
