If i open Word, then select a file to open, it opens within a second. But if
i open My documents then double click on the document it takes 20 seconds. IS
there a problem with Word or the shortcut or path? I tried the recommended
remedies but nothing worked.

Do you have Norton AV on this PC? Uncheck its office plug-in option.

Possibly putting a shortcut to the Office Startup Assistant in your
Office startup folder will help Word start faster. See
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=826318 "Frequently asked questions
about the Office Startup Assistant in Office 2003" for more information.

Should I reinstall Word? I tried the suggestion that garfield-n-odie gave me.
it did not work. But i did notice that i have office10, does that make a
difference?
