The department of a client recently upgraded to WinXP/Office 2003 from
Win2K/Office 2K. Since the upgrade, opening a 1 page document (~28 kb) can
take 2-3 minutes. The file is based on a template that is on a shared
drive.
The template has some numbering and tables in it. Turned off background
saves
and fast saves, tried changing default printer to local printer, deleted
temp
files from C drive - no change. About 350 users are all experiencing the
same
thing.
