Minimising Glitch when I use Search Key in Long Documents

This is my problem:
I have long text  documents on my computer. When I open a document  (in order to search it) and then click the Search Icon, the document minimises and flashes on the taskbar.   I have to click the minimised icon on the taskbar to restore the document. And sometimes the Search box also minimises onto the taskbar. 
 
On the other hand if I open the same document and then click on the text, or briefly scroll down text, the document acts as I would expect it to and there is NO problem when I use the Search key.

How long is the document? Is it over 150 pages? If so, Word may be repaginating (renewing page breaks). Try switching to Normal view (Icon in lower left of Word, near status bar) and see if this helps.

I tried this. It does not work. Also, having checked I find I have this problem with all documents over 800 KB

Have you tried renaming the normal.dot file?
