Word 2003 - Tables performance
I know this has come up here before... what I really want to know is
how to provide product feedback directly to Microsoft. I know about their MSDN feedback page, but that seems to be mostly for programmers, and doesn't include the option to comment on Office products. I've read a lot of suggestions in this newsgroup and on-line about improving performance for tables in Word. Unfortunately, all of these Web pages imply that this was a problem starting in Word 97, or in Word 2000. I was using Word 2000 up to a couple of months ago. It worked fine on my laptop, including complex documents consisting primarily of tables. I "upgraded" my laptop to Office 2003, and I'm horrified by the performance when you put a table into a Word 2003 document. I'm currently working with one document that consists almost entirely of tables (it's a test plan). When I paste text into one of these tables, or paste a new table into the document, it's go-for-coffee time. Literally: I just pasted a two-row table into the middle of the document, went down the hall, poured myself a cup of coffee, and came back just in time to watch Word finish the paste operation. Absolutely unbelievable. It was nowhere near this bad in Word 2000. Has anyone else noticed this kind of order-of-magnitude degradation in performance between Word 2000 and Word 2003? Does anyone know how to kvetch directly to MS about this? |
