Word pausing about every 6 to 10 secs
I am getting pauses about every 7 to 10 seconds whenever I open and use Word,
whether it is new document or one I have previosly saved. It is not happening in any other application. The pause lasts about a second, and the letters that I have typed during the pause come up ok. The egg-timer comes up on the screen during the second or so pause. I have defragged the hard drive, turned off all the features that I thought it could be, (highlighting, spell checking, autosave etc. etc.) and in fact now anything that even might cause it, but it is still happening. I have also changed the video card and dsplay settings to see it it was that, but it made no difference. I also did a "detect and repair" from the HELP menu, and that did not stop it. Can anyone help? Thanks - edy |

Trying to remember if the fix is getting rid of the "Allow fast saves"
default setting under Tools, Options, Save. Look through all the Tools, Options tabs; I believe your answer is there. While you're at it, this is a good time to look at the default 10 minute autosave? How much are you willing to lose in a crash - 10 minutes?

I have toggled the "Allow fast saves" on and off, but it was the same in
either mode - it does not stop the pauses. As far as the 10 mins of work lost, I am not that fast a typist, but you are right - 10 mins could be a lot of words, so will reduce that.
