My daughter is using Word 2004, v 11.2 for Mac. Writing a long paper.
She's finding some repetition of words at the ends of some pages and

At times when I use MS Word 2004 on my MacBook the CPU usage shoots up
to 100% (even without other programs open) and then the hard drive
gets really loud.  I'm not sure what causes it, or how to stop it
