Default Word 2003 Hangs when changing indents

Hi ?B?Q2luZHlCLg==?=,

Now that you mention it, it seems to be happening only in one document, where
I've inserted bullets and numbers.

But bullets/numbers are OK in other documents / new documents? (Just
double-checking)

In that case, this particular document is probably damaged. As this is Word 2003,
try saving to XML format. Close, then open it again and save as a Document (*.doc
- different name so that you don't overwrite the original). Do things work better,
now?

Recently Word either hangs or is very slow to change or becomes completely
unresponsive when I change paragraph indents (with the toolbar button). It
will also hang when I press the undo button. Any ideas what is going on?

This is in all documents, or just certain ones?

If it's all documents, try holding down the CTRL key when you start Word, to
go into Safe Mode. Does the problem go away when you're in Safe Mode?
