Periodic hourglass in Word 2003
When I have Word 2003 open, the mouse pointer turns into an hourglass for a
short time every 9 or 10 seconds, which of course disrupts my work. If I leave Word open and move the pointer off Word, hourglassing does not occur. I can't find anything in Word Options related to this. I also shut down all other programs that might be causing this, with no improvement. This does not happen on any other programs, including other Office 2003 programs, or another computer running Word 2003. I would appreciate any helpful suggestions. Thanks. |

Periodic hourglass in Word 2003
I have exectly the same problem in Word XP as erniejaybird describes. In a
Word document, holding down the "a" key will produce a string of "a"s for about 9 seconds, then a 1 second pause while the hourglass is on, then 9 seconds more of "a"s. Booting in Safe Mode does not produce this effect. -- Dell Vostro 200 Windows XP Home Edition Office XP All kept up-to-date "erniejaybird" wrote: When I have Word 2003 open, the mouse pointer turns into an hourglass for a short time every 9 or 10 seconds, which of course disrupts my work.
