Slow Opening of word Docs
If I open a word doc the time to open the file is at
least 45 seconds. Is there any way to speed this up? Many thanks Martin |

Several possibilities:
1. If you have an older version of Outlook, make sure that journaling is not enabled. In some versions it is enabled by default, even if you have never used Outlook. This feature keeps track of every document opened and closed in Word and/or Excel. 2. Make sure your printer driver is installed locally even if you're using a network printer. Word itself will be slow to open if it can't find the printer. 3. One of the most common causes of slow document opening, though, is its being attached to a template that has been moved or deleted or is unavailable because it's on the network and you are not connected to the network. If this is the issue, you need to either attach a different (available) template such as Normal.dot (making sure that "Automatically update document styles" is *not* checked) or reattach the existing template in its new location, preferably not on the network. This can be done, of course, only after the document is open, but it will expedite opening it the next time. -- Suzanne S.
