Word 2007 Very Slow
I am a long time Office 2000 user who has just bought a new computer &
installed Office 2007 Pro & find Word to be Extremely slow. Whenever I move my cursor the egg timer comes up for a couple of seconds - typing is much worse. I have a 2.4Ghz dual core CPU & 3 GB RAM withe XP Professional, so wouldnt have thought my machine would be the problem. Doesnt seem to make any difference whether I'm in compatibility mode or not (as I was in that mode to start with, as my co-workers are still using 2000). The other applications in this pack seem to be working not too bad, just Word is driving me nuts. Can anyone tell me where I'm going wrong please? |

Thanks for your advise Stefan, but your link wasnt applicable. My problem is
when I'm working in a document, not when opening the application. |

Did you read it, or did you just look at the title and reject it?

I appreciate your replies & yes I have visited the site & read all the
articles to see if anything sounds familiar, and even sniffed around in other areas of the "Application Errors" section, but nothing sounds like my problem. I reiterate that Word 2007 isnt locking up, or crashing, or giving me any errors... just running really slowly with every document I look at, be it produced by me, or anyone else. Non of the other applications in Office Pro 2007 are experiencing this problem. "Suzanne S.

I was just going to ignore you, but here I am anyway.
I hope your day has improved Grammatim, as you bummed me out for a minute. Then I thought maybe you treat people this way cause no one as ever bothered to tell you that your attitude sucks. Thank goodness there are other people out there who offer polite opinions. "grammatim" wrote: Did you read it, or did you just look at the title and reject it?

Your comments are not helpful to anyone & I'd appreciate it if you would go away. "grammatim" wrote: If you _do_ the things suggested in that article, your problem just might get solved.

Word 2007 Very Slow
Two MVPs (so far) have tried to help you. It would be a lot easier for
them to come up with possible solutions if you would explain exactly what your symptoms are, and exactly what measures you have taken to attempt to fix them, rather than making sarcastic comments about what you may or may not have understood from their responses. "Doesn't sound like your problem" doesn't help anyone figure out what your problem might be. On Jun 4, 4:44*pm, GFaye wrote: Stop wasting everyones time - Of course I've tried the suggestions.

Word 2007 Very Slow
I think the problem has been pretty clearly stated: Word's performance is
very sluggish in all documents (not just a specific one, so it's not an issue of document complexity), and this sluggishness is not evident in any other Office app. I think it would probably be worthwhile to start Word in Office Safe Mode (by pressing Ctrl while loading) to see if the same sluggishness is seen there. If so, then the problem is going to be much harder to find, but if this results in an improvement in performance, then it would be worthwhile to pursue some of the other suggestions in the referenced article. -- Suzanne S.
