You might also want to try turning off any "real time virus scan" that is
active on your computer. A real time scan will scan everything while you
type it - which can slow down your typing in a large table.

I've been trying to create 1-2 column tables in Word to store comments from
surveys we do. Whenever the table goes beyond 1 page, Word comes to a crawl
and has a large lag between when I type and when it appears on screen. We use
Word 2002 on WIndows XP. Anybody have any ideas on this? Thanks.
