cutting text is excrutiatingly slow - why?
When I highlight text in Word 2002 or Excel 2002, and then use CUT or COPY,
the program takes 3 or 4 seconds to get this simple task accomplished. Meanwhile, I'm looking at the little hourglass on the streen and I can't type anything. It was not always this way, but for the last month or two this problem has affected anything I do in Office. I'm at a loss to recall what might have happened to trigger it. Clearing the clipboard has no effect. It doesn't matter how big or small the text is to be cut/copied. THis is hardly a fatal problem but it's really annoying. Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix it? |

Try clearing down your \Local Settings\Temp folder.
If you can't see the folder, in Tools\Folder options on the view tab ensure the "Show hidden files and folders" in checked. Hope this helps.
