Interesting Kathy. This article may apply to your situation for Word 2000,
especially if you have multiple edit languages enabled like English, Korean.
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=KB;EN-US;220439
This scenario above shouldn't be an issue with Word 2003 though, as it was
fixed in Word 2002.
I cannot reproduce the High CPU creating a document using =rand() to create
52 pages in Word 2k and then take it to Word 2003 with Check Spelling as
you type enabled. It would interesting to know what languages you have
enabled under Start/Programs/Microsoft Office/Microsoft Office Tools/
Microsoft Office 2003 Language Settings though.
You might want to log a Support Request through Microsoft Product Support,
to troubleshoot this further to get to the bottom of this.
Cheers
Ian

| Ian,
|
| I just created a 52-page test on Word 2000 using =Rand
| (200) again and again until I had 52 pages. I opened the
| document on Windows XP - Word 2003. Once Word 2003
| resolved the 52 pages, my CPU was at 0-1%.
|
| I created another 52-page test on Word 2000, copying the
| text "The quick brown fox jumps ...." again and again
| until I had 52 pages. I opened this document on Windows
| XP - Word 2003. Even after Word 2003 resolved the 52
| pages, my CPU never dropped below 95%.
|
| A light bulb just went off in my head ... When I
| copy/pasted the text, I missed the period at the end of
| the sentence so "dogThe" was all through the document and
| Word 2003 was checking the spelling, etc.
|
| With the document open in Word 2003, I went into Tools-
| >Options->Spelling and Grammar. I turned off both "Check
| spelling as you type" and "Check grammar as you type".
| Immediately my CPU dropped to 0%. I turned the Spelling
| options back on and my CPU again jumped to 100% never
| going below 90%.
|
| Do you know what the difference is in spelling and grammar
| checking is between 200 & 2003? Can you turn it off by
| document instead of by the user's Word Options, which
| would apply to all documents?
|
| Again thank you so much for your input.
