Slow text entry
Hi, After opening my word document, it starts getting
really slow after a short while after opening it. I type letters into the document and they won't appear right away. The same thing happens when I try to delete characters. They won't delete right away. The file is 374 KB in size. I was told it may be the size of the file. Any suggestions. Thank you so much. |

Slow text entry
At the risk of missing this one, it probably has more to
do with the feastures for spell checking or grammer checking. If you are on a relatively slow computer and these features are enabled to "correct as you type" the application is probably spending processor time checking rather than presenting the typed characters. It may have to do with a network if your dictionary is located across a slow network on a remote drive or something. Hope this helps. -----Original Message----- Hi, After opening my word document, it starts getting really slow after a short while after opening it.

This does not have anything to do with the size of your file (at this size).
374 KB is a relatively small Word file. -- Charles Kenyon Word New User FAQ & Web Directory: http://addbalance.com/word Intermediate User's Guide to Microsoft Word (supplemented version of Microsoft's Legal Users' Guide) http://addbalance.com/usersguide See also the MVP FAQ: http://www.mvps.org/word which is awesome! --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- This message is posted to a newsgroup.
