CPU Usage When Working with Templates you created
Ok, I have posted this question a couple of days ago with only one response
so I will try again. I have tried the Cindy's suggestions on two computers and found no change, so anyone else know why the below happens???? I was wondering why, when working on a template that I created and adding auto text to that template, the cpu usage hangs around 50%. If I use the template as a document and type in it, the cpu usage stays much lower sometimes down to 0 to maybe 10 % or so. As soon as I pull up the template as a template and then begin to work in it, the cpu usage goes up and fluctuates as high as 50%. I have tried this on two different computers with the same result. The second computer has 1/2 the ram and it will hang around 90% while pulling the template up as a template and adding auto text. Is this normal behavior? Seems Strange. I tried today to create a completely new template from scratch. I pulled up the nomal.dot document as a template. Changed the margins, added tabs, the date and some returns so it matched my old template. I then saved it under a different name. Then I pulled it up as a template and checked the CPU usage while in the template and it read 0%. I then copied 10 autotext items to it and individually added them to auto text giving them there own codes, then saving the auto text only under its template name so as to not have all of this auto text for all active templates. Same procedure as I used before. I then saved it under its new name and pulled it up as a template again and checked the CPU usage. Bam, CPU usage hung around 50 - 100%. Pulled the new template up as a document and CPU usage normal. So, I thought maybe the fact that I copied the same auto text I was using into the template may have caused the problem so I started from scratch again and this time I would create a new template and type my own test auto text which I would save to that new template. Same thing happened, as soon as I had saved some auto text in the new template and then pulled it back up as a template to work on it, the CPU usage goes way up. Everything works fine, however, I do find this strange. The one computer with 512 ram will hold at 90% and higher when working with the template as a template, it is fine when working with it as a document. My concern is that as I add more auto text to the template it will eventually lock up. The new one I just made had only 5 items, my original has 90 already. Any information on this will be greatly appreciated. I am going to send a copy of my template to work where I have Word 2000 and work off of a server and see if it does the same thing there. At home were this happens I have Word 2003 and Office 2003 along with 1 gig of ram and 512 on my smaller computer. Running Windows XP w/SP2 at home all up to date but running Windows XP w/SP1 at work. -- KM1 |
