Find window automatically launches

[Cathy C]

Outlook 2007 - I have a user with XP and MSOP 2007. A couple of weeks or so
ago, the Find window started sporadically launching when she is typing a
message. Any clues or thoughts on this? (She's not accidently pressing Ctrl+F)

Thanks,
Cathy

Find in a message or Outlook's Advanced find window? Does she have sticky
keys enabled and is using ctrl right before it comes up? Did she assign a
different shortcut to find?

Find and Replace as if she had pressed Ctrl+F. I'm sure she didn't
deliberately enable sticky keys or assign a different shortcut to find. I'll
have her turn off sticky keys and see if that does the trick. Thanks!

It's harder to change the shortcut - or harder to forget you did it. As for
sticky keys, I have the same problem, although I'm not 100% sure its sticky
keys at fault. A new Reply window is my bane, not Find - the letters
responsible are close enough on the keyboard that I'm guessing we both do
the same thing to initiate it... I just overshoot and hit a different key
than she does. (I'm a lousy typist. )

That's probably what it is. I haven't heard back from her yet, but just sent
another email asking her to stop immediately when the window pops up and
write down the last thing she typed. Maybe I can get some clues. Will keep
you posted.

Thanks!
