Find and Replace: Flashing Rectangles-- Word 2003
When I bring up the search and replace dialog box, I get quick flashing
rectangular lines that flash only briefly. The same happens when I cancel the box. They come up and down from the bottom of the screen with the dialog box. Any idea on how to stop them??

I'm guessing at what you're seeing, but try this: Go to Tools
Options General and uncheck "Provide feedback with animation". -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit.

"removing all headers and footers" t.com wrote in message ... Thanks, that was it. I wonder how that box got checked. This was new.... JF Word 2003 particularly has a bad habit of randomly changing such options. Some have blamed the influence of add-ins but I am not convinced this is the issue. If you have a particular setting (or settings) that change for your installation. You can force the required settings with autoopen and autonew macros in the normal template, to ensure the settings you require are correct for each document. - see http://www.gmayor.com/installing_macro.htm -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org
