Unfortunately not.

Do you have any other ideas? My hard drive is getting
close to being full, although I haven't gotten any
messages that anything needs to be deleted. Other than
that, I can't think of anything that could cause the
problem.

Most frequently, this is a problem with the Spelling or
Grammar. Open Tools,
Options, select the Spelling and Grammar tab and uncheck
the two check as
you type options. Does that reduce the CPU load?
