System Slowdown using Word 2003
My entire system slows down (90 to 100% cpu cycles) while in Word 2003. When
I bring up the Tools/Options menu it goes back to a smaller percentage 20 -44 if that's any help. My Company recently upgraded from 2000 where I did not experience this. I have tried many setting changes without success. Also I have searched this site for the word "slow" and have not found an answer. I don't have any templates added in and as I said I did not have this problem before. Any suggestions will be appreciated. John |

I do not know everything you have tried, but I would first do Detect and
Repair then all MS Office and Windows Updates then restart, and if that does not work, reinstall the software. -- Top Notch Admin "John@NGC" wrote: My entire system slows down (90 to 100% cpu cycles) while in Word 2003.

Thanks Michael...I did the Detect and Repair. Teh individual file seems to be
the bad actor. I can create and save test files with no problem but when I load a particular file my cpu pegs out. What could be in the file to cause this to happen?

Michael,
I did a Select All and pasted the text into another "new" file and the behavior stopped. Why I don't know but it worked.

How is it possible that one, and only one, document is corrupt ONLY on my
computer, but not when it is opened on other computers? I have carefully tried every solution at the Word MPVs site (several different pages dealing with corruption). Also, I have complete and up to date security software and no unwanted background processes running. If the problem is the document, then it should be corrupt on all computers. But if the problem is my computer, then corruption should occur in more than just one file. So I'm confused. The 'corruption' I'm talking about is CPU usage sticking at 100%, high fan speed, and very very hot air coming out. Paging through the document goes a little slowly, but apart from those there are no other symptoms of corruption at all. "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote: It could be corrupt.
