I have ChemOffice, and when I type a substructure in the text replacement box of Chem3D and press Enter, I get an error message stating, "Sorry, "x" does not begin with a recognized element or substructure name."

Solution:

You have opened your Chem3D Substructures file in ChemFinder (maybe unwittingly by double clicking it) and have corrupted it. Reinstall the Chem3D portion of the software and immediately lock your Chem3D Substructures file BEFORE opening it. If you want to make changes to the Substructures file, use the File/Open command in the Substructure Editor and not ChemFinder.
