I also had the same problem with slow typing in word, and after
googling a little bit, seemed that quite a few people do.
Solution that worked for me (word 2007) with a picture in the header
of the template:

- Select the picture in the header (footer)
- Go to Picture Tools - Format in the menu
- In the most left box you have Adjust in the menue
- Select Compress picture
Now you have the possibility to do this only for this picture, or set
it general. In the options, you can even select the purpose of your
document (print, screen, mail).

Worked fine, and now the typing 'speed' is up to normal
