How to stop new slo-mo speed of F&Replace window

[Musicinme]

Just today, when working in Word (Office XP Small Bus 2002/Vista), every time
the Find & Replace window opens (either via Toolbar or Alt-E), it goes
through a new slow-motion opening sequence. It comes up from the bottom
right corner of the screen and slowly moves to the center of the document.
Same thing on closing F&R and I can't perform any other Word functions until
it's closed. Minor but how did this start happening and how can I make it
stop - it's really driving me nuts!

Repair Office from the original installation disc then before starting Word
again - see http://www.gmayor.com/what_to_do_when_word_crashes.htm then

There's an Options settings that may affect this, and based on experiment, I
would guess that it's Tools | Options | General: "Provide feedback with
animation." If I check that box, my Find dialog does slide in from the
bottom (though it's pretty fast).

Graham, Suzanne,

Thanks a million. I did the quick fix Suzanne suggested - which worked -
and am going through Graham's process too just to be safe. Greatly
appreciate your time an advice.
