FIND AND REPLACE FUNCTION CRASHES WORD

[CJS]

Version: 2008
Operating System: Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard)
Processor: intel

Hello.

New Mac User. Office: Mac 2008 Home and Student version

When I use the find and replace in Word, Word closes, does not save changes and tells me to report the error to Microsoft.

What do you suggest I do? I did report it each time it crashed. Thank you.

Doesn't happen here.

Diagnostic tricks to help locate the cause of the problem:

1) test in a variety of documents--new documents, old docs, long docs,
short docs, to see if it happens in every document or just certain
documents.

2) Log out of your user account, then hold down shift while logging back
in. This prevents login items from loading. If the problem disappears,
it is probably due to some conflict with the login items/utilities in
your user account.

3) create a new user account in OS X and test in that one. If the
problem disappears, then the installation is fine but some user-specific
file has corrupted.

I have exactly the same problem as CJS. I am an editor and have been using Word for years. I have tried Word 2008 on a number of documents but it crashes on all of them. I have no problem when I then edit these documents in Word 2007.

Awfully sorry, but "Mac User, Office 2008" does not give me enough
information to answer the question.
