Word 2010 Find and Replace dialog box suddenly is not visible

The Find and Replace dialog box suddenly does not appear when I invoke it through either CTRL-H or through Replace under Home - Editing.  When I do a CTRL-H, the title bar of Word changes color, so I know Word is no longer the focus window.  But the Find and Replace dialog box is not visible.  If I carefully (blindly) type some "find" text, hit Tab, type the "replace" text and hit enter, it actually finds the desired text in the open Word document.  So Find and Replace is working, but the pop up window does not display.  I have tried rebooting, but that did not solve the issue. I have not tried a Repair installation of Office 2010 yet.

Is there a simple solution to make the Find and Replace dialog box be visible again?

Please excuse this post.  This was "user error".  Apparently the Find and Replace window was opening on my second monitor, but it was turned off, so I didn't see the pop up on the other screen.  Please excuse this post.
