Word Document really slow to open
Word 2002 (XP) -Office 2002
XP Pro, SP2 P4, 3.2 G 1 G RAM 250G Hard drive 120G Hard Drive Radeon 9600 Vid Card My computer seems to be clean (no visible spyware, virii, trojans, etc.) I have quite a few Word documents, it takes about 5 seconds for them to open. I"ll dclick on one to open it, oftentimes I'll dc on it *again* since it's taking so long. The documents aren't too long, perhaps one page. NOTE: This seems to be a problem that started to work across the Whole office suite. (well, word and excel anyway) Not a huge problem, but just wondering if this is something I can fix. -- Joe Fisher Teacher, K-8 Marion, MT |

If you're running Norton AntiVirus, disable its Office Plug-in.

No Norton stuff on my computer. I use Avast, I'll look around to see if
there's any office stuff in it. While on the subject, I use Kerio Personal Firewall (although is was the same when I used Sygate) Joe "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote in message ...

Avast doesn't appear to have an Office plug in . Any other ideas, things to
look for? Joe "Joe Fisher" wrote in message ... No Norton stuff on my computer. I use Avast, I'll look around to see if there's any office stuff in it.

Are the documents on a network? And/or are they attached to templates that
have been moved or deleted? -- Suzanne S.

No, and No. But thanks for all the ideas!
I'm planning on reformatting and reinstalling soon, it might clear up when I do that.:-) -- Joe Fisher Teacher, K-8 Marion, MT "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote in message ...

It probably won't. reinstalling rarely achieves anything useful. Try
