FWIW, I've noticed that Word takes a lot longer to load since I got DSL
(previously, with a dial-up connection, I was not connected when I started
Word). I have online Help disabled, too.

Hi ?B?SWdvciBTdWtob3Y=?=,
I have noticed that if the internet connection is available it takes
longer
for the Word to start up (as if it does some kind of check over the
internet
(I checked it using my firewall software) - perhaps it does check if the
online clipart available or not).
Since you haven't gotten a response here, try asking in the office.setup
newsgroup. You're more likely to encounter experts in configuration
questions
there. Be sure to mention the version of Word with which you're having the
problem.
