Office 2008 Slow?

[revjosh]

Version: 2008
Operating System: Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard)
Processor: intel

Can someone please help understand why my Office suite-especially Word takes about 45 seconds or more to load!?
I have done the latest update-which I understand fixed this-but it didn't!
I also have just the standard fonts installed on my machine.
I have also teird uninstalling and reinstalling Office and that didn't help either.
I am really frustrated-plese help.
Thanks

Sorry: It's bugs in the system.

Search in here for "Slow" an try all the things listed. Some may help.

Basically, Apple changed a few things in OS 10.5.2 and Office now doesn't
like it. We just have to wait for fixes.

Cheers

Hi, John.

Just so you know that the problems aren't entirely related to OS 10.5.2. I am operating on OS 10.4.11, and I am having some of the same problems. The worst is the very sluggish uptake of information from the keyboard to the screen. I am a fast-ish typist, and I am three or four words ahead of the screen. It must be infuriating for really fast typists. Does anybody know if this can be fixed? My initial option is to revert to Office 2004.
