Hi, I have the same problem with documents attached to a template on a server
that no longer exists. ESC works in Vista and Server 2008 R2 but NOT in
Windows 7. When I open the very same document in Vista and Server 2008 R2 it
takes about 30 sec if I not press ESC.
In Windows 7 the document takes severat minutes and ESC does NOT work.
Any ideas?

When you open the document... check the status bar and see if it is trying
to connect with a server that contains the underlying template. If so, you
can press Esc to interrupt that process and load the document immediately.
If you plan to use & reuse that document a good deal, you might also want to
attach a local template.

The problem is sporadic. You can open several word documents without
issue
then suddenly when trying to open one it delays for nearly a minute. It
is
not any specific document or document type (2003 vs. 2007)
I ran the MS Office diagnostic tool and it reported that there are no
problems.
I ran process explorer and watched the system tasks as Word opened and
there
is no difference in when a document opens quickly as opposed to slowly.
No
different processes start, just the time delay.
I updated MS Office 2007 to SP1 and applied security patches, problem
persists.
There is nothing in the users
\Documents and Settings\username\Application Data\Microsoft\Word
or
\Documents and Settings\username\Application Data\Microsoft\Word\Startup
folders
