I believe this behavior is one that John is looking at, so that document does NOT have to be correct all the time. If you make a mistake that changes the document and you get that dreaded box, you can not use search and replace to correct it. You have to look by hand. Fortunately, my mistakes are mostly local, but a wild search and replace could create a situation where errors were spread all over the document. Then your only choice is to revert to your HOPEFULLY recently saved copy. Otherwise you are, as they say, up the creek without a paddle.
