Find Window Hangs ?!
"Leon_Amirreza" <r_rahmaty[ at ]hotmail.com> 10/19/2008 8:52:30 PM
I have opened a filein word 2007 that is originally created in word 2002 or
2003 then saved it as a .docx now
when i use find window and press next button on that; after 2 or 3 times
pressing next hangs nad cause word to NOT RESPOND!

What is wrong and what should i do?? how can i diagnose the problem in the
file?

i guess when the find command passes over a special character it hangs! (the
file is full of unicode special characters like LEFT_TO_RIGHT_OVERRIDE and
.....)
How can i find and delete the miss behaving character??

It seems to be a known problem with Find in 2007 and not your document
(hopefully).
See the hot fix:

Hope this helps
