Strange "Find" Behavior
Ross from Orlando <rpayne4[ at ]cfl.rr.com> 11/25/2008 2:09:20 AM
When I bring up the Find dialog box in Word 2007, it often shows
"Outline" after "Format" (right under the "Find What" box). I cannot
figure out what makes that style show up there sometimes and not other
times. Whenever it does that I have to clear that by clicking "No
Formatting." Not a huge thing, but bothersome just the same. Any
thoughts will be appreciated.

This is caused by an add-in. I'm trying to remember whether it's creating
PDFs that causes this or something else, but many users have noticed this
behavior. In my case, however, it's Highlight that appears, and in a
previous post I did associate this with using the Convert to Adobe PDF
feature.

I may well be that it is caused by a COM add in installed with Acrobat
Standard 9. I checked my installed add-ins and that is the most likely
culprit. I assume that this is something that has no fix. Thanks,

No, it's just a Typical Adobe Annoyance. Another is that I have to recheck
"Update fields" in Tools | Options | Print every time I create a PDF.
