Pauses in word 2002 during typing
When I'm typing something in Word 2002, the "software" sometimes "can't keep
up with my typing" (so to speak). I mean there's often a hesitation before the last letters in a word appear on the page. But as soon as I "move ahead" to another word, then the last letters of the previous word instantly appear. I never had this problem with XP and Word '97, but I have a new computer with Vista and I've moved from word '97 to 2002. I've got a fast computer and 2 megs of Ram. My word 2002 comes from a brand new Works Suite 2006. I reinstalled my word 2002 several times, but it made no difference. I write children's novels for a living, so this is more than just a small annoyance for me. Any advice or suggestions would be much appreciated. -- |

Pauses in word 2002 during typing
What happens if you start Word in safe mode (that is, hold Ctrl as you start
the application)? Does it then work correctly? -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Don" wrote: When I'm typing something in Word 2002, the "software" sometimes "can't keep up with my typing" (so to speak).

Pauses in word 2002 during typing
Hi Stefan. I went into the safe mode, as instructed, and my word worked
pefectly--i.e. no pauses. I don't know what this implies. I didn't know there was a safe mode in Word. -- Thanks, Don "Stefan Blom" wrote: What happens if you start Word in safe mode (that is, hold Ctrl as you start the application)?

Pauses in word 2002 during typing
Hi Again Stefan.
Does the absence of "pauses" when Word is in the safe mode give you any insight into the source of the problem--and a possible correction? Or are you suggesting that I should do all my writing in the Safe Mode in order to do an end run around the problem? If the latter is the case, is working with word in the safe mode exactly the same as working in the normal mode? By the way, I did a search for normal.dot and nothing came up. I think this might be a little odd. Note that I've reinstalled my word 2002 several times and the same "Pause error" persisted. -- Thanks, Don "Stefan Blom" wrote: What happens if you start Word in safe mode (that is, hold Ctrl as you start the application)?

In Safe mode add-ins aren't loaded into Word, which indicates that an add-in
or possibly a macro in normal.dotm is causing the problem you are having. See http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/AppErrors/...roubleshooting. Just to clarify, I'm not saying that you should run Word in Safe mode; it's intended for trouble-shooting only. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Don" wrote in message ... Hi Again Stefan.
