How do u improve Word '07 to recognise shortcuts typed fast?
For most times when i use shortcuts on Word 2007 it takes too long for it to
respond to my keystrokes and i dont get to where i want... my speed of typing shortcuts hasnt changed and i didnt have any problems in previous versions of word. Is there a way to increase Word 2007's speed of recognition of shortcuts? |

Bump up your computer's speed - try adding RAM. (Just guessing here?)

How do u improve Word '07 to recognise shortcuts typed fast?
mmmm.... ok - i never thought of that. However, if this is the cause it would
be a bit suprising, as i bought a brand new, above-average price/quality laptop just 2 weeks ago Cheers for your thought though paul "JoAnn Paules" wrote: Bump up your computer's speed - try adding RAM.

How much RAM came with it? "Brand new, above average cost" doesn't mean
anything these days. It could have all kinds of "stuff" that raise the price but don't do anything to help the system. We just bought a laptop two weeks ago. Low price but speedy little critter - came with 2 GB of RAM. -- JoAnn Paules Microsoft MVP - Publisher How to ask a question http://support.microsoft.com/kb/555375 "pazz" wrote in message ... mmmm.... ok - i never thought of that.

I like that description!

How do u improve Word '07 to recognise shortcuts typed fast?
Hi JoAnn,
I dont run many programs at the same time and still have the problem when i only have excel open. It's weird... i consciously have to slow down my shortcut typing by about 4-5 times so i can get it working properly. I'm also running Vista if that helps Paul "JoAnn Paules" wrote: Do you have a lot of programs running in the background? -- JoAnn Paules Microsoft MVP - Publisher How to ask a question http://support.microsoft.com/kb/555375 "pazz" wrote in message ...

Hi Paul
For what it's worth, I have the same problem. I can type faster than Word 2007 can think. From what I can see, the designers put in a conscious delay into the way the ribbon works. That is you press Alt, then waaaaaaiiiiit, and then the letters on the ribbon appear. I assume that the same delay prevents keyboard shortcuts from working quickly. It's been like that for me since the first Beta of Office 2007 and I know no way to change it. Shauna Shauna Kelly. Microsoft MVP. http://www.shaunakelly.com/word "pazz" wrote in message ...

Hi Shauna,
Thanks for the posting and confirming that this issue is not related to me... i also noticed what you said regarding the ribbon... Let's hope that there's an update released soon cheers paul "Shauna Kelly" wrote: Hi Paul For what it's worth, I have the same problem. I can type faster than Word 2007 can think.

For what it's worth, I'm running Word 2003 and 2007 side by side, and I
don't see any difference in speed of keyboard response when typing, or when typing shortcuts. This is a medium speed Core2Duo with 4 GB of ram (but since I'm using 32-bit Vista, only about 3.2GB of my ram is actually being used). I also have a notebook that runs Windows XP. It's a slower computer, and has just 1GB of RAM. But, I don't see any keyboard speed differences between Word 2003 and 2007 on it, either. And, when I'm working in Word, I hardly ever use the mouse, so I would definitely notice. Note that Word was noticeably slower until I disabled an Adobe Acrobat Add-in. However, the add-in was slowing Word 2003 and 2007 both down. Just for kicks... try starting Word up in Safe mode (hold down Ctrl as Word is starting, and say Yes to starting in Safe mode). Working in safe mode, is Word 2007 still as slow as it was, or does it respond more quickly? If it responds more quickly, then there's a chance that an add-in is slowing things down. -- Herb Tyson MS MVP Author of the Word 2007 Bible Blog: http://word2007bible.herbtyson.com Web: http://www.herbtyson.com "pazz" wrote in message ...
