It probably means you already have either the find or the print box open and it can't open a second instance of it Linda Linda's Computer Stop http://personal-computer-tutor.com ABC Free Ezine ~ Free Ebooks and Tutorials *all outgoing mail scanned by Norton AV. If you got a bug that looks like it came from me, it did NOT! -----Original Message----- From: mso-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:mso-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Diane Rainaud Sent: Thursday, June 03, 2004 1:33 PM To: mso@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [mso] Word 2000 Quirkiness Lately (maybe a couple of months or so) on my computer and one of a co-worker Word has been doing something we've not noticed in the past. It happens under several sets of circumstances. First example: With the Word doc open, I select Edit | Find. Rather than the Find and Replace dialog box displaying, the Word icon in the task bar begins flashing (the Word doc is still maximized). Click on the flashing icon and the Find and Replace dialog box displays but the Word doc minimizes. At this point he Word icon in the task bar is no longer flashing...click on the icon again and now you have both the Word doc and the Find and Replace dialog box displayed. Another example: Same situation as above, but the the Print dialog box Any idea what this is about? Thanks.
