Word 2007 Slow When Switching to Word
I am running Vista Home Premium 64 on a Core 2 Quad @ 2.4 GHz with 4 GB Ram.
Recently upgraded from Office 2000 to 2007. I can open Word 2007 and open my document without any problems. But when I change the active windows and come back to Word, Word is extermely slow. The hourglass comes on for a good 8 to 10 seconds. I have to wait and cannot do anything. The CPU usage jumps by 25% during the wait time While I have a few applications such as Outlook and Excel open, I am not running any major applications. This is very frustrating. Help!!!!!!!!!!

Hi Bij,
Have you run the MS Diagnostics to make sure Word is running correctly (Word Options|Resources|Diagnose)? -- Cheers macropod [Microsoft MVP - Word] "Bij" wrote in message ...

Word 2007 Slow When Switching to Word
Hi Macropod,
thank you for your response. I ran the Diagnosis you suggested. The diagnosis found and corrected one error under the Setup Diagnotic. After the error was corrected, I exited Word and restarted my computer, but I still have the same problem.

Word 2007 Slow When Switching to Word
Do you have any mapped drives that are not available? Nothing slows my PC
down more than having a mapped external drive that is switched off. If not, see http://www.gmayor.com/what_to_do_when_word_crashes.htm then http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/AppErrors/...artingWord.htm. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Bij wrote: Hi Macropod, thank you for your response.

No I do not have mapped drives. I have checked the link you sent me and that did not address my problem. "Graham Mayor" wrote: Do you have any mapped drives that are not available?

Word 2007 Slow When Switching to Word
The only other possibility I can think of concerns AV checking. Some AV
software makes working with Word problematical. I believe Kaspersky is one such product. There have been problems reported with MacAfee and Norton is another (at least it was in earlier versions). AVG without the office document checking option works well. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Bij wrote: Hi Graham, No I do not have mapped drives.

Word 2007 Slow When Switching to Word
My Anti Virus is AVG Free version 8.5.392.
I have noticed that even when I open a saved file, Word is slow to open the document. This I can put up with, but not slow switching between open windows.

Did you install AVGs document checking? Try re-running AVG setup and uncheck
it. It doesn't do anything useful. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Bij wrote: My Anti Virus is AVG Free version 8.5.392.
