Vista Ultimate 64bit, Word 2007 (cannot find about box but i think it is 32
bit Word)
2.5 gighz 64 bit CPU
2.5 gig RAM
4 gig ReadyBoost

This is a very fast machine, Visual Studio 2005 just pops up as an example.

1 - I have cut and pasted many things into a document.
2 - Now the document hangs for about 20 seconds when trying to load the
document.
3 - I have cut the document into 11 documents, about 50k each.
4 - The documents have internal links, the ones that came with, EX: MSDN
HTML article.
5 - Now each of the 50k documents take the same 20 seconds to load.
6 - It appears that there is network activity, based on the system bar at
bottom of the Vista desktop
7 - If i delete all of the content with the links it launches fast again.
Remember each of these 11 documents all do the same thing, and each of them
have different types of content within them. Ex: tables, or links, or just
general formatted text.
Question:
(1) - What could be causing this to hang this way. Is Word verifying all of
the links or something. It hangs like when the printer is off-line.
(2) - Are there any tools that can determine what steps Word is doing during
startup, sort of a trace or debugging steps, etc?
