Word 200 replace, hides search document

[esparza]

Thanks in advance for any replies.....
My question is: is there a setting in word that causes a new window (not popup dialog box)to come up when doing a find or replace. I just installed a fresh copy of Office 2K on a new dell P4. I used the same install disk, that I've used on several other machines running W2K Pro. But, this install brings up a new word window (like a separate instance of word)and displays the search popup dialog box in this window, when I invoke the find option. It will not display the original document and the search dialog box at the same time. This new window, will not minimize. Any help would be appreciated

Hi,

Very strange! I've not seen this before. Try closing all instances of Word then going to Start->Run and typing in "winword /a" (without quotes) then clicking OK. This starts Word cleanly (kinda like a Safe Mode for Word). See if the problem still happens? We can take it from there.

Paul.

Sorry, I should have posted what I've already tried......
I have, tried your suggestion, ran word with /unregserver, ran word with /regserver, did a detect and repair, uninstalled office, deleated the profile, reinstalled office using the new profile with admin privileges.

could be reformat time.

Also having problems with long hang times, when opening word and excel files from e-mails.
