I've been working on a sizeable document file (approx. 1
MB of "raw" text, no special formats or images) which,
whenever I open it in Word 2000 on Windows XP Home
Edition, always loads the CPU to ranges of 95-100%, and
over 12 MB of virtual memory. However, when I open the
same document in WordPad, the CPU remains at a comfortable
2-10%.
I appreciate Word's automatic spellchecking, and would
like to avoid having to split the document into several
smaller files. Since Word doesn't create such extreme
loads with, for instance, opening several 300KB files at
once, does anyone have any suggestions as to why it has so
much trouble editing a single 1 MB file, even when no
other applications are running? What other processes
(aside from the spellchecking cycles) could Word be
performing that might originate this?
Thanks for your replies.
