    Why do Find/Change and Spell Checker stagger around randomly like drunken sailors?

    carl_hart Community Member

      I'm editing a 200 page, 20 chapter book using ID4 6.0.6, and both the spell checker and Find/Change are driving me nuts. It would seem, logically, that if I start on page one with either of them, they would do their work line by line, story by story, from page 1 to page 200 and then stop at page 200. Instead they both bounce around like crazy--seemingly randomly. They'll go to say, from page 1 to page 136, then back to page 40, then from 40 to 70, then back to 25, then jump to page 156--backwards and forwards endlessly without EVER getting to the last page. Even more ridiculous is that they'll check the same things again and again and again--same pages same items. If I'm doing something wrong, I'll be damned if I know what it is. I'd really appreciate some help.
