"Search and Replace" hangs in Word 2007
When I try a certain kind of Search and Replace in Word 2007, the program
hangs on me. The specific search and replace is the following: SEARCH FOR: ^p^p (two carriage returns) REPLACE WITH: ^p (one carriage return) I can't always recreate the problem, which is maddening. However, I Googled this symptom and found that others are having similar issues from time to time. Any ideas? |

It appears to happen whenever the search string contains ^p and the text to be found is in the document, but is not currently visible in the document window. In other words, if you must scroll down to SEE the text you are searching for and that text contains ^p, Word will hang until you end task on it, or simply press ESC and it will abort the find. |
