Have the user work in normal view rather than print view.

More RAM would probably help.

A 411 page document is not, by itself, all that large.

Hello good people

We have a staff member who refuses to break up a 411 page word document
(2003 version) and is complaining about the slowness of editing (even
though
we've strongly suggested he break it up into chapters).

He is saying that editing is not that bad, but the 100+ references (via
Endnote) really REALLY slow it down.

He says he's tried saving to RTF and that helped it, but it doesn't
increase
the speed much anymore.

We've told him that there is probably no real solution, besides what we've
suggested. And we're just wondering if any of you good people have any
other
suggestions.

Thanks heaps, in advance

Leon
