Re: Search function results in program freeze: Word2007

Hi George,

The change for the Find function in Word 2007 was updated in a hotfix. That fix may or may not have already been rolled up into one
of the updates that is on the MS Update checker. The hotfix is available via
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/955587?FR=1

To stop the loop the Esc key often takes you out of it, not always immediately.

Terry - I have auto update, but just as an insurance I ran MS Update, both
from the MS website (using Silverlight) and also from Word's intrinsic
updater. No luck. Apparently I am completely up to date with patches. I
had hoped something had slipped through the cracks.

I'm wondering if there is some configuration file or something that does NOT
get updated when I re-installed Word2007. Regardless, it is extremely
annoying to have this large document repeatedly lock up Word 2007. Again, it
does this whenever I perform a text search, and when the search hits the
bottom of the document, instead of prompting "Text not found, continue
searching from the beginning of the document?", going into an endless loop
and locking up the CPU.

If I'm the only one having this problem, it must not be a program bug, but
either some Word2007 config file, or possibly a problem with the docx file
itself. I've tried to address the latter by copying the docx file to a
separate drive (to create a clean write of it), deleting my hard drive
version, and then re-copying back over to the hard drive. No luck, it still
does it.

Anybody out there have a suggestion as to how I can trouble shoot this?

TIA
