Default Word 2003 opens slow

Or is on a network you're not connected to?

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?
