f I followed the good advice at the time it was probably inadvertent!


The 64 bit version is now installed but it think I found what the
problem really was. I looked at the Office 2010 tool kit and checked
the cache settings.


By default MS Word is set to NOT clear cache on closing and to store
cache for 14 days!


There is also an option to clear cache .


I cleared cache, set the program to only hold for one day and to clear
when closed.


I also told my wife she can run the tool kit to clear cache anytime
she wanted...and to do so periodically after large edits.


She had no further problems yesterdayÂ* but I did not make this
discovery until close to the end of her work day.

Thanks for this. Fits what I think I know. IIRC, the cache by default is
written to disk at regular intervals, so a large cache would invoke
paging. Paging takes a long time.

Best,




Seven hours and no problems ...so cache was it
