Why is Word slow if i create a large table?
I've been trying to create 1-2 column tables in Word to store comments from
surveys we do. Whenever the table goes beyond 1 page, Word comes to a crawl and has a large lag between when I type and when it appears on screen. We use Word 2002 on WIndows XP. Anybody have any ideas on this? Thanks. |

You might also want to try turning off any "real time virus scan" that is
active on your computer. A real time scan will scan everything while you type it - which can slow down your typing in a large table.
