Find and replace no longer working in Word 2003

[Guest]

One of my clients can no longer get Find/Replace to work in Word 2003. She
has reinstalled and repaired but the search option is still no longer
available.

Is this a known problem? I was not able to locate a resource in the
Microsoft Knowledge Base.

Thank you in advance for your help.

My guess would be either registry corruption or a corrupted Normal.dot. Try
following the troubleshooting steps shown here, the title of the article
notwithstanding:
