opening a large word document causes application not responding
Hello, my name is Edward Letendre. I have a computer that is a pentium
processor (not sure of the exact speed), but it has 320 megs of ram, a 19 gig drive partitioned into three partiitions. I have windows 98 second edition installed on the computer along with office 2000. I have installed all of the windows 98 and office 2000 patches. But when I try to open a large document (30 plus pages), word locks up displaying the I beam icon. When I press the Control, Alt and Delete keys to see what background tasks are running, I see that my word document is locked up with the application not responding text appearing near the name of the document being opened. How do I resolve this problem? I used to be able to open the document in word 97, although very slowly. Since I switched to word 2000, the document was opening okay, except for the the appliction not responding, which started a month or so ago. Help me if you can. Edward Letendre. |

30 pages is a small document. 3000 pages is a large document. What is the
file size? 320 Mb RAM is probably underpowered for office 2000, depending on what is running. It still should not lock up completely.
