Thumbs up Answer: Can I get rid of a typing lag in Word?

Yes, I have encountered this issue before and it can be quite frustrating. There are a few things you can try to get rid of the typing lag in Word:
  1. Disable add-ins: Sometimes, add-ins can cause Word to slow down. To disable add-ins, go to File Options Add-ins. From there, you can manage your add-ins and disable any that you don't need.
  2. Update your softwa Make sure that you have the latest version of Word installed. Microsoft often releases updates that can improve performance.
  3. Disable hardware acceleration: Hardware acceleration can sometimes cause issues with Word. To disable it, go to File Options Advanced. Under the Display section, uncheck the box that says "Disable hardware graphics acceleration."
  4. Clear the cache: Word stores temporary files that can sometimes cause issues. To clear the cache, go to File Options Advanced. Under the General section, click the "File Locations" button and then delete the files in the "Cache" folder.
  5. Disable background programs: Other programs running in the background can also cause Word to slow down. Try closing any unnecessary programs and see if that helps.

Hopefully, one of these solutions will work for you and you can get rid of the typing lag in Word.
