I think I'm safe. My printer is plugged directly into the PC via a parallel
port, and is always on.

Completely the opposite: Word needs to see a printer driver. If the
printer isn't local, then Word may be slowed down as it tries looking
for a Network printer (For example, over a VPN link, this could be very
slow). If it cannot find either a networked printer or a locally
installed printer driver, it may fail to start completely.

Are you saying that if Word knows there's a printer available that it
might slow down the loading of Word?

As well as NAV - specifically the Office Plug-in option - being a
problem, you must also install a local printer driver for Word to see
even when you are not connected to a network or printer.
