Word 2003, problems with file dialogue boxes
I've opened a document and am trying to insert a picture from file.
When I try and navigate to the location where the picture is stored the open picture dialogue takes upto 3 minutes to respond to a change of folder,e.g. E.g if it defaults to My Documents and I then double click on say folder Nick it would take 2 mins to open the Nick folder. Any ideas please? |

Word 2003, problems with file dialogue boxes
In fact I've noticed the problem seems to occur with all file management
within WOrk. For example if I create a blank document and then attempt to open a document the navigation between folders takes an aboslute age.

Right-click on the My Computer icon on the Windows desktop,
left-click on Disconnect Network Drive, and disconnect any mapped drives that are not currently available. NickE wrote: I've opened a document and am trying to insert a picture from file.

Excellent, all sorted now.
Today I am working away from home so had 2 network drives that couldn't be connected to. When I reboot my machine will the network mappings still be present or do I need to add them back in? (I'm still away from home so can't test). Do you have any idea why this problem does not present itself with all file related dialogue boxes, e.g. if I go to my webmail and invoke the file attach dialog I don't get the same delays when navigating folders.

Once you disconnect a mapped drive, the drive will stay
disconnected until you map it again. NickE wrote: Excellent, all sorted now. Today I am working away from home so had 2 network drives that couldn't be connected to.

Thanks,
Is there any other way around the problem? The problem with the solution is that everytime I'm away from away I will not be able to connect to the drives so I will need to disconnect them to avoid this problem. That obviously then gives me the hassle of having to re-map them when I get back home.
