I was able to repeat just what Chris did using Win2K but it is not something
I would normally do. :-)

Chris,
I don't see any crash here on our XP pro machine. But the simple answer is 
don't do that!
We will make a note of the issue and keep an eye open next time we are into 
our portion of code involved. The "find" window is not actually our code, 
but is MS, so if the issue is somehow triggered in that code, we would need 
to solicit MS involvement as well.
Cheers,
Jack
