No, I'm tyring to open Word as one would normally, using the normal.dot
template, and I am not on a network. Once it is started I can then open a
second instance of Word on my computer and it is instanteously opened. Also,
if I start it from the command line using the /a switch it starts instantly.

Does this scenario fit the the problem? You are trying to open a document
based on a template that has either moved or no longer exists?

I've done all of that (renamded normal.dot, deleted data folder from
registry, no entries in startup folder) and I still have slowness when
opening. It appears that it is searching for a document, as in the
default document, but I don't know for sure. I do know that if I open a
second occurrence it loads instantly.

For some reason, Word 2003 has slowed upon opening. It gives me the
splash screen and from there it opens very slowly. I've deleted and
reinstalled my printer, checked my fonts, and can find no reason for it
to be opening slowly. Can someone advise me of what else I mght try?
