When it happens, press Escape. It really should interrupt the process, and
should not harm the document.
The usual problem is that the template attached to the document is on a
network or internet location, rather than local. In the Developer tab, click
Document Template, and click the Attach button. Navigate to a local version
of the document template, and click Open. Once saved, the problem won't
recur for that document... unless you send it out for updates and someone
else reattaches their network-accessible template to it again.

Word 2007s "Contacting the server for Information. Press ESC to cancel."
feature frequency is making editing my document painful at best. A task
that
should take 15 minutes to work on is literally increasing this task to
over
an hour due to the frequency of this €ścontacting the server for
information€ť.
It takes three to four minutes to perform the update and is occurring
every 2
minutes.
I have copied the document and all external files to my local system. I
have set the default printer to a PDF writer that is installed locally.
How can I disable this feature?
