Doc properties - Word & Excel 2007 Beta
Just to see if anyone noticed the same problem:
Going into the "File" icon (upper left hand side) drop down menu in Word or Excel and selecting "Finish" then "Properties from the "Finish" sub-menu; the "properties" window that appears above your document window is extremely slow to appear and work in. Almost impossible. Selecting advanced from the " properties" drop down menu however brings up the old standard properties dialogue box which works correctly like it always did. Has anyone else seen this? Perhaps a known bug and is there any other way to bring up the old style properties dialog box without going wading through the beta bog? : -) -- Kirk M. |

Hi Kirk,
No problem here. Works pretty fast. Are you using Vista?

Doc properties - Word & Excel 2007 Beta
Oops, violated my own rule.
Hi Patrick, I'm running a clean, updated XP Pro on a an AMD 3200+ Platform, 512 meg memory, 200 gig HDD, 128 meg XGI Vortec video card etc, etc (my test machine). I've been testing IE 7.0 since the first preview build also. I only use Word and Excel which is the only two Office programs installed. Both programs seem to operate pretty smooth so far except for the document properties which slows to a crawl (it does not(!) slow down the rest of Word or Excel however, just the properties dialog itself). Any ideas? -- Kirk M. "Patrick Schmid" wrote: Hi Kirk, No problem here. Works pretty fast. Are you using Vista?

Hmm, this is a hunch: Fire up the Office setup again and install
InfoPath. Any better then? Patrick Schmid -------------- http://pschmid.net "Old Beta Tester" wrote in message : Oops, violated my own rule.

Hi Kirk,
Is it only the first time you call up the properties pane or every time (you can right click Finish=Properties and add it to your Quick Access Toolbar to save a step or two when testing g) As Patrick mentioned there is a definite tie-in to advanced features if you're working with MS Office 2007 Infopath as well. ========== "Old Beta Tester" wrote in message ...

Doc properties - Word & Excel 2007 Beta
Hi Patrick, Bob, Appreciate your help. I installed Info Path as well as the rest of the suite (what the heck, I have till February) and this is what I noticed. Initially the properties panel took a very long time to appear every time. Now after the new installation(s) the first time I access the panel it still creeps (5-7 seconds to appear), after that it is nearly instantaneous. However, any operation conducted within the panel is still dead slow w/ a delay of 3-4 seconds for any operation to take place once executed IE: setting a cursor position, switching fields, back spacing, deleting etc. The one exception is that typing is immediate. I got curious and opened up task manager. Here's what I found in a nutshell using Word in the test. I don't really believe that Excel would show any different but I'll check later: Opening Properties panel first time: -Open Word. Let it "settle": CPU-0% MEM-21-25megs -Load a document: CPU-quickly spikes and drops to 0% MEM-34-36megs -Open Properties Panel: CPU-99% and stays there MEM-68-72megs Note: Operations within the document are still fairly quick. -Close Panel: CPU oscillates between approx. 35-58% Mem approx @ 68megs On the second try the panel instantly appears and CPU runs between approx 58-70% but the delayed reactions still exist as I stated before. Memory usage still around 68% (it won't "give it up"). Closing Word and and re-opening it again resets everything back to "normal as in the beginning of the test. Closing Word leaves nothing "left over" according to the Task Manager. NOTE: Typing and standard operations within the document barely increase CPU usage at all. Before trying to open the Properties panel, typing, right -clicking, etc barely nudge the CPU off of 0% This seems indicative of a large memory leak within a fairly small module of a much larger program. Hope this info helps |

Hmm, really weird. Was this for a document that had already been saved?
If yes, was it a 97-2003 document or a 2007 one? Does this happen for all your documents or just a specific one? Have you tried switching off your anti-virus scanner just to see what happens then?

Doc properties - Word & Excel 2007 Beta
Real quick.
Hello again, Just got your post. As far as docs are concerned it's both '97-2003 and new docx types. No change. Also, Info Path crashes every time I attempt to bring up a template. Shutting down antivirus has no effect. (Panda Internet Security). Reinstalling, repairing etc has no effect. Perhaps I'm missing something in the works such as .NET frame work 1 or 2 (which I have) or something along that nature. I can't find anything in the requirements on the MS Office site. In fact I can't seem to find much about it at all as far as Release Notes are concerned unlike IE 7.0 for example. Any clue you might come across, please let me know. Thanks -- Kirk M.

When it crashes, do you send the crash report to MS? Reinstalling, repairing etc has no effect. Perhaps I'm missing something in the works such as .NET frame work 1 or 2 (which I have) or something along that nature. I can't find anything in the requirements on the MS Office site. In fact I can't seem to find much about it at all as far as Release Notes are concerned unlike IE 7.0 for example. AFAIK, the .net framework is not a requirement for Office 2007. It shouldn't need anything beyond what ships in the package... Patrick Schmid -------------- http://pschmid.net Any clue you might come across, please let me know. Thanks -- Kirk M.
