Tracking changes slows down Word
Outlook slows down when I try to use the track changes feature in Word 2007.
This did not occur in Word 2003. I have tried closing the document and making changes with the track changes feature on but it seems that once I activate track changes, even if she turns it off, Word is still slow. |

Tracking changes slows down Word
Perhaps you can make another stab at explaining what's happening... you
begin by saying "Outlook slows down when I try to use the track changes feature in Word 2007." Then you say "I have tried closing the document and making changes with the track changes feature on..." First, what's slowing down? Outlook or Word? Second, once you've closed the document, how can you then make changes to it? Can you see why this message is confusing? Once we get past that... What are the symptoms? "Slow" could mean a lot of things, and quite different things if you're talking about Outlook as opposed to Word. Other basic questions include how large the document is, whether it's located on a server, how many other programs are open, what operating system you're using, how much memory your computer has, whether you're using add-ins in Word that might be slowing things down, and whether your computer has enough free disk space to allow for however much virtual memory is required for what you're trying to do. (Word 2007 does use more memory than Word 2003, so it's possible that you're hitting resource limits.) For what it's worth, when I first started using Word 2007, I found that the Adobe Acrobat add-in for Word slowed word down immensely, but it was not related to using track changes. Still, at the margin, the extra resources required could be pushing your computer beyond comfortable processing capability. -- Herb Tyson MS MVP Author of the Word 2007 Bible Blog: http://word2007bible.herbtyson.com Web: http://www.herbtyson.com "Kenya" wrote in message ...
