Default Why does it take so long to load Word ?

I have a powerful machine. Excel loads instantly. Word is dreadfully slow.
I've checked third party add-ins but that does not seem to be the problem.
Also takes ages to close down as well.

If you're using Symantec/Norton AntiVirus, try disabling the
Office Plugin that comes with it. See
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=329820 "How to use Office
programs with the Norton AntiVirus Office plug-in" for more
information.

Also see http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/AppErrors/...peningWord.htm .
