Why do Word 2003 Files with Macros open so slowly?
I am using Microsoft Word 2003. I use templates, that are not created by me,
with Macros enabled. I have turned the security down to its lowest level so I am not asked if I want to enable the Macros when the file opens. When I open any of these files, they take about five minutes to fully open. During that time, the application appears frozen and if I click anywhere in the window, the page goes white. At the end of the approximate five minute timeframe, the document opens and I can work on it. Closing the file usually, but not always, takes a few minutes as well. After a few minutes, I am prompted to save changes in the document and when I respond, it closes . |

And see http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=830561 "Documents that have
attached templates take a long time to open in Word 2002 and in Word 2003" for another possible explanation. John OGrady wrote: I am using Microsoft Word 2003.
