Slow opening documents
Can anyone explain why Word 2007 is so slow in opening documents. Am running
Vista 64 and it takes say 30 secs to open or close a document. It also takes up to a minute to print a doc from word or say a PDF. Am I missing something in my setup? |

Slow opening documents
Do you have any links to Excel in your Word document?
If yes Have you unchecked "Update Automatic Updates" (Office Button, Word Options, Advanced)? If yes Close all your applications and start Task Manager Open your Word Document in a small window so you can see Task Manager You will see a new process start and stop for Excel for EVERY link in your document which obviously slows down the opening A Microsoft engineer confirmed for me that this is a known issue with no known solution. He advised us to save all documents in the binary (.doc, ..xls) format instead of the new XML (.docx, .xlsx) format since we have so many links that some of our docs take FIVE minutes to open. Is this a problem for others? Why doesn't unchecking the update box STOP this? Why is this STILL a problem so long after 2007 came out?!
