Keystroke slow compared to typing in Outlook 2007

[Frank]

I recently purchased a new computer. Vista OS. Also Office 2007. I noticed
that as I typed in Outlook 2007 (email) the cursor could not keep up to my
slow speed of typing. However when I was just typing in Word, I did not have
that problem. It appears that something is slowing down my actions while in
Outlook 2007.

Has anyone else noticed this? I uninstalled my Norton Utilities and that
did not solve the problem...

Thanks in advance.,
Frank

Did your create a new profile? See:

Also for the first several days, you will find that it is building a search
index.

Why would my typing in Word by itself easily keep up while in Outlook (Word
Editor-- although it says HTML editor) the keystrokes are halted before
catching up. I have noticed that whenever I click an option in Outlook
there is a slight hestiation compared to the response I'm familiar with..

Can you explain why in Word alone, I don't have this hestiation, but in
Outlook I do? To answer your question on making a new profile, No I haven't.
Not sure how that helps me, and more importantly why Microsoft didn't
address this in their "readme.txt.

Thanks.
