Hi

We have users who type up comments into Word tables, with around 6 columns.
These tables can become quite long, 50 to 100 page, so have lots of rows.
Quite often after a save has been made, when the user starts to type again
the text displayed on the screen does not keep up with what is being typed
in. There is a delay before it is displayed. If the file is closed and
opened again, things are OK, until the file is saved again.

The problem can also occur with shorter tables, 10 pages plus.

The problem occurs with Word XP and 2003, but not 97. All work is saved onto
a networked Windows 2003 server. Workstation OS is Win 2000 and XP.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Andrew Austwick
