"Find Next" hangs up in Word v. X

[Carla]

I wrote before to say that "Find Next" gets hung up--in Word v. X. I haven't
had it very long, but so far it's happend in every word doc I've edited, and
none of the files have been more than 5,000 words. I used "Find Next" for
years in Word98 for Mac, and never had a problem.

Asmentioned, it keeps getting hung up, stuck on one item, then zooms
ahead if I click "Find Next" again. When it's hung up and I don't click it, it
eventually frees up and moves to the next item, but sometimes it takes a
while and really slows me down (copyediting). I've tried clicking faster and
slower and adjusting the mouse speed, but no luck

Next". Have you looked for the responses?

It's hard to tell, but I think you are replying to my previous message...

For X, try these troubleshooting techniques.

tried.

This link has a bit more information if you get desperate, but is presented
