Document designed in Word 2003 with radio buttons opens very slowl
I have an employee evaluation document with radio buttons from 1 to 5 on each
question used to rate an empoloyee's performance. Each question has 5 buttons grouped together and there are 30 to 36 questions depending on which version is used. The documents take anywhere from 30 seconds to a minute and a half to open depending on the Word version of the user. I have instructed everyone to set their Macro Security to Medium and to enable macros when the document opens. Is there any way to speed things up? |

Hi ?B?U2FtbWFj?=,
I have an employee evaluation document with radio buttons from 1 to 5 on each question used to rate an empoloyee's performance. Each question has 5 buttons grouped together and there are 30 to 36 questions depending on which version is used. The documents take anywhere from 30 seconds to a minute and a half to open depending on the Word version of the user. I have instructed everyone to set their Macro Security to Medium and to enable macros when the document opens. Is there any way to speed things up? Not really, no (short of giving everyone a new, super machine). Option buttons are ActiveX controls - little embedded OLE objects. Each and every one of them has to be initialized when the document is opened (similar to an embedded Excel spreadsheet).

Well I vote for giving everyone a new Super Machine but since that's not
going to happen, I'll just let them know that they have to be patient. Luckily, these documents will be obsolete in another month. Thanks for your answer.
