Word 2007 Slow When Switching to Word or Opening a Saved File
I am running Vista Home Premium 64 on a Core 2 Quad @ 2.4 GHz with 4 GB
Ram. Recently upgraded from Office 2000 to 2007. I can open Word 2007 and open my document without any problems. But when I change the active windows and come back to Word, Word is extermely slow. The hourglass comes on for a good 8 to 10 seconds. I have to wait and cannot do anything. The CPU usage jumps by 25% during the wait time While I have a few applications such as Outlook and Excel open, I am not running any major applications. This is very frustrating. Help!!!!!!!!!! |

Word 2007 Slow When Switching to Word or Opening a Saved File
Please test this with Word in Safe Mode. From Start | Run, type in
winword /a and press enter which starts Word in Safe Mode. Open a document and work as normal. Then try switching between applications again and see if the problem persists. -- Terry Farrell - MSWord MVP "Bij1963" wrote in message ...

Word 2007 Slow When Switching to Word or Opening a Saved File
Who mentioned a command prompt? Read the instruction again. It is very
simple to follow. If you don't see Run from the Start menu, then someone has removed it. Try Winkey+R instead. tf "Bij1963" wrote in message ...

Word 2007 Slow When Switching to Word or Opening a Saved File
If you look at Taskbar options, adding the Run command is an option (though
it is normally there by default). Running in Safe Mode is a test to see if Word is the problem or something else. In Safe Mode, Word starts in its default install condition bypassing every customisation, add-in, template, macro, etc. So we have now proved that there is nothing wrong with Word. You need to check out any of the following that may be causing the problem: Incompatible or partially corrupt printer driver Corrupt normal.dot Incompatible third party add-in (either as a template, Comm or macro add-in) See the FAQ at http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/AppErrors/...artingWord.htm for some guidance on finding the problem.

Word 2007 Slow When Switching to Word or Opening a Saved File
Removing the PDF editor did it.
thanks for all you help Terry. Looks like I have to find another PDF editor that does not conflict with Word. Bij "Terry Farrell" wrote in message ... Uninstall the PDF utility from the Control Panel. Then open Word and make sure that the Addin has also been removed. Then test Word again. Terry "Bij1963" wrote in message ... the add-in is for "eXPertPDFAddIn-4Class". It is a PDF editor. I had already checked the Word Startup folder and it is empty. "Terry Farrell" wrote in message ... What add-in is it? Many add-ins are templates placed in the Word Startup folder. Simply removing the template from the Startup folder is sufficient to test. To eliminate the printer, install the Generic Text driver through the Add Printers dialog and set it as the Windows Default printer. Terry "Bij1963" wrote in message ... The printer is not a networked printer. How can I remove the Add-in with Word closed? Bij |

Word 2007 Slow When Switching to Word or Opening a Saved File
Word 2007 has a free PDF add-in that allows you to SaveAs PDF, but it
doesn't let you open and edit PDFs. For that function, you need a third party editor. But have you checked with eXPertPDFAddIn to see if they have an up[date or solution to the problem?

Word 2007 Slow When Switching to Word or Opening a Saved File
I am using Bullzip PDF Printer for creating PDFs, which still works.
I was using eXPertPDF for editing (adding and removing pages, adding comments). I got the software through "Give Away of The Day", which let's you donwload and install the software for free for one day and it is unsupported. Now that I have removed it, I've lost it and can't install it again. I have to find another PFD editor. Bij "Terry Farrell" wrote in message ...

There are many alternatives to the grossly expensive Adobe PDF Creator.
Amongst the better editors are Foxit, Cute and PDFedit995 to name just three that I have used. But there are dozens and dozens to choose from. Terry "Bij1963" wrote in message ...
