Hello all,

one of our users has a problem that I really can't figure out.
Using Windows2000 SVP4 with Office/Word 2000.
If a document is open in the main window and she uses the "find" command
it opens the "find and replace mask" in a new empty window. In order to see
the results of the search she has to switch windows to the original.
Does anybody have an idea where this behavior is set ?

Regards
Armin

See if there is a macro called EditFind that is intercepting the inbuilt
command. If not, try the measures at

In Norton AntiVirus, disable the Office Plug-in.

That was my first thought too - but was swayed by the 'new empty window'.
