[X-Apps] appleworks/word screw-up

[John Lowther]

so i am screwed?

i know a good deal of unique text from the document
but searching for that text doesnt shake anything out
in fact
it will sit and spin for as long as i leave it there
(last night it was still searching 2 hours later so i stopped it)
