Recently I have been experiencing very long delays when pasting web form
contents into a Word document. What used to take only a few seconds now
can
take as long as 1-2 minutes. I do not believe that I have installed any
software that would directly cause this to happen. Has anyone else had
this
problem? Any ideas as to settings I can check or modify that might speed
up
the process?

Any thoughts would be welcome.
