Hi Randy
If you have Word 2003, you could try this.
Help Customer Feedback Options. Click Online content, and then un-tick all
the options.
Hope this helps.

Whenever I am online, Word (and PowerPoint for that matter) slows down to
the
point of not being able to use it. Occasionally it close altogether. No
problem when not online. Have run several spyware programs and anti virus
programs. Nothing detected.
