Default Word 2007 NOT RESPONDING - slow response time

As Graham says, you must install a local printer driver and set it as the
Windows Default. Even if you don't have a printer, just install one of the
generic drivers on the Windows disk.

Slow running has nothing to do with Vista. If it is still slow after
installing the printer driver, please come back for more help on diagnosing
the problem. Be assured that Office will run in Vista fine. You haven't
wasted investing in more memory as Vista really needs 2GB to be absolutely
'happy' but 1.5Gb should be OK unless you are a heavy user.

Me again with more details:
I've hunted around this discussion board and it is happening to everyone!
I
have no printer installed and I do not have that update that people have
mentioned.

The clear link with all these posts is Vista and I cannot fathom how
Microsoft made an operating system that isn't compatable with Word!

It is literally freezing up every few keystrokes now. It always starts
responding again, but I'd rather not wait the 2 minutes every time just so
i
can type a simple document!!!

There HAS to be an answer SOMEWHERE!! Anyone? Please help.
