This is a macro I use frequently to count the number of occurences of a
word in a document. It's very fast and convenient. I simply place the
cursor in the word, and run the macro, and it gives me a message box
with the result
But it frequently causes Word to freeze up. Can anyone point to what
may be wrong with it?
Thanks,
Larry
