Word 2007 Windows Switch Delay
When I switch between 2 Word windows or between Word and other application
windows my CPU gets on 100% (cursor changes to hourglass) and I have to wait several seconds to be able to continue to work. Size of the document doesn't matter. You can have documents with 2 words or 20 pages. There is no difference in response. I am running XP Service Pack 2. It doesn't matter if I have Virusscan on or not. And yes, my system is fairly new and powerful enough to handle even the most demanding new games. Does anyone else have the same problem? Is there a solution? Any help would be greatly appreciated! |

Word 2007 Windows Switch Delay
I experience the identical problem -- in Vista as well as in XP/SP2. I have
searched for, but have not yet found a solution. I'm hoping it's a performance issue that will be fixed in Office 2007 SP1. (I'm currently using 2GB of memory, but I plan to expand to 4GB soon. I'll post back if doing that solves the problem.) -- Herb Tyson MS MVP http://www.herbtyson.com Author of the Word 2007 Bible Please respond in the newsgroups so everyone can follow along.

Word 2007 Windows Switch Delay
PS... when I start Word with the /a switch, I don't get the delay. Without
the /a switch, I've experimented by renaming normal.dotm and building blocks.dotx, as well as by renaming the Data key in the registry. Individually, none of those get rid of the delay, although renaming normal.dotm does seem to reduce it a little. Tomorrow, when I'm awake and less likely to make a mistake, I'll try some additional things, as well as try some of these at the same time. In theory, if adding /a gets rid of the delay, then there ought to be something concrete we can do to eliminate the delay when running Word without the /a switch. -- Herb Tyson MS MVP http://www.herbtyson.com Author of the Word 2007 Bible Please respond in the newsgroups so everyone can follow along.

Word 2007 Windows Switch Delay (Mystery solved!)
I've solved the problem here, at least. It turns out that it was being
caused by the Acrobat PDFMaker Office COM Addin in my case. When I removed the check next to it, Word instantly sped up when switching document windows (as well as when doing a number of other operations). Best of all, removing it doesn't interfere with how I use Adobe Acrobat Professional 7 in Word, since I always print to the .pdf printer driver to create .pdf files (I could also use Word's capability, but I find that Acrobat's versions are smaller). If you have Acrobat (standard or pro), try unchecking it in the add-ins manager: Office Word Options Add-ins. At the bottom of the window, set Manage to COM Add-ins, and click Go. If it's not that particular add-in that's causing you grief, then try selectively disabling others to see if unchecking one or more gets rid of your delay. -- Herb Tyson MS MVP http://www.herbtyson.com Author of the Word 2007 Bible Please respond in the newsgroups so everyone can follow along.

Word 2007 Windows Switch Delay (Mystery solved!)
Thank you Herb. That was indeed the problem. I wonder what is the exact
function of the PDFMaker Office COM add-in if I can still save my docs to a pdf format? Still, unchecking it solved it. "Herb Tyson [MVP]" wrote: I've solved the problem here, at least.

Word 2007 Windows Switch Delay (Mystery solved!)
Great! Nice to be able to share that little headache remedy.
The add in serves only as a handicap in Word 2007. In Word 2003 and earlier, however, it actually had some functionality, in that it added menu commands and a toolbar. In Word 2007, which has neither toolbars nor menus, the poor little thing gets frustrated and lonely, and makes Word slow down until you notice it. Nice to put it out of its (and our) misery.

Word 2007 Windows Switch Delay (Mystery solved!)
Well, I'm having the exact same problem, ever since I installed the EndNote X
add-in. It is obviously that which is causing the super long delays in switching windows, Can anyone suggest any way of fixing this, wothout getting rid of the add-ins (becasue I need them)?

Figured out how to get around the error message. You have to run Winword.exe
as Administator. Go to Program Files/Microsoft office/Office12 and left click on Winword.exe and click on run as administrator. Now you should be able to remove the add-in without getting the message. Hope this helps. Robert "Robert G" wrote: I am having the same problem.

Best of all, removing it doesn't interfere with how I use Adobe Acrobat Professional 7 in Word, since I always print to the .pdf printer driver to create .pdf files (I could also use Word's capability, but I find that Acrobat's versions are smaller). If you have Acrobat (standard or pro), try unchecking it in the add-ins manager: Office Word Options Add-ins. At the bottom of the window, set Manage to COM Add-ins, and click Go. If it's not that particular add-in that's causing you grief, then try selectively disabling others to see if unchecking one or more gets rid of your delay. -- Herb Tyson MS MVP http://www.herbtyson.com Author of the Word 2007 Bible Please respond in the newsgroups so everyone can follow along. "Herb Tyson [MVP]" wrote in message ... I experience the identical problem -- in Vista as well as in XP/SP2. I have searched for, but have not yet found a solution. I'm hoping it's a performance issue that will be fixed in Office 2007 SP1. (I'm currently using 2GB of memory, but I plan to expand to 4GB soon. I'll post back if doing that solves the problem.) -- Herb Tyson MS MVP http://www.herbtyson.com Author of the Word 2007 Bible Please respond in the newsgroups so everyone can follow along. "DXJAGUAR" wrote in message ... When I switch between 2 Word windows or between Word and other application windows my CPU gets on 100% (cursor changes to hourglass) and I have to wait several seconds to be able to continue to work. Size of the document doesn't matter. You can have documents with 2 words or 20 pages. There is no difference in response. I am running XP Service Pack 2. It doesn't matter if I have Virusscan on or not. And yes, my system is fairly new and powerful enough to handle even the most demanding new games. Does anyone else have the same problem? Is there a solution? Any help would be greatly appreciated! |
