Image in document header causing poor performance
I have several document templates that were setup with corporate logos in the
Header. There are two different sets of these documents. One is for printing and keeping, the other is for faxing. The only difference is the fax templates have a solid black log and type, whereas the laser templates have a gray scale logo and type. The templates range in size from about 80 KB to 270 KB which includes sample text as well. The problem is with the fax templates, I have one computer that is running Windows Vista with Office 2007 installed (including all Service Packs and updates release up until today). This is a brand new laptop, running a 2 GHz Core 2 Duo with 2 GB RAM. When I open the fax templates either from the local computer or a network drive, it takes a little longer to open than the laser templates do. Then once I start typing something in the body of the document, the image within the header starts flashing with each keystroke, and the typing gets extremely delayed. It gets to the point where I'm typing about 30 characters ahead of what is displaying on screen. I've currently enable the setting for Word to put a placeholder in place of any images, and that is solving the issue for now, but ideally I'd like to fix it so that the user can actually view images within Word. Thanks in advance for any help. |

Image in document header causing poor performance
A frequent cause of such issues is an inadequate or poorly configured
display driver. Word makes the display driver work surprisingly hard.
