Find and Replace Locks Up Word

#1 January 21st, 2005, 10:01 PM

I have a user that frequently uses Find and Replace on long documents in
Word 2002 and Word frequently locks up as he's stepping through the Find and
Replace process. It doesn't lock up Word every time he uses Find and
Replace, but it happens very, very frequently. Does anyone have any idea
what might be causing this and how we might fix it?

It is probably a minor corruption in template or registry - see
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/AppErrors/...peningWord.htm (and don't be
deterred by the page title).
