Slow Microsoft Word 2003
Frequently, when I am using my Word 2003 on my Windows XP system, the
application is slow to respond. For instance, when I go to delete a paragraph from my text, it may take up to 10 seconds for the paragraph to disappear. Other times, when I want to get out of Word 2003, it may take the same amount of time to get back to my desktop. This condition has not always been that way; it's only within the last several months that this began to happen. I have plenty of memory on my XPS system so that is not the problem. Any ideas what may be causing this slowness? Thanks in advance. |

Slow Microsoft Word 2003
Jack, simplest thing to do is to uninstall Word and then reinstall it.
That's if you have the MS Office CD. Do it from Add/Remove programs in Control Panel. "Jack" wrote in message ...

Slow Microsoft Word 2003
you might try to test the
performance of the program in safe mode and then in safe mode w/networking. if it works better in safe mode then there is a chance that it is something in the normal mode that is causing the issue with word. -- db·´¯`·...¸)))º DatabaseBen, Retired Professional - Systems Analyst - Database Developer - Accountancy - Veteran of the Armed Forces - @Hotmail.com - nntp Postologist ~ "share the nirvana" - dbZen ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "Jack" wrote in message ...

Try the following. Try it you will like it :-) Find normal.dot and rename it to normal.old. (normal.dot will rebuild after the following) Now open Word and see if your issue has improved.
