Panther upgrade slows Word to a stop!

Seems that it is so fast that your message is posted even before you
type anything.

You must have done something wrong. My Panther upgrade showed a slight
speed improvement in Word, and most other applications.

If anything, Panther should give you a slight speed improvement.

Try repairing permissions (using the Disk Utility application in your
Applications:Utilities folder).

Maybe he used white font on white background.

The only thing I've found that slows Office (be it on OSX or 9) the that ^&*%
PDFMaker that adobe Acrobat installs. It it installed it takes Word 5 minutes to
load on OS9 and about 2.5-30 minutes on OSX.

One of the folks here suggested away to stop it in its tracks by substituting the
file for a folder with the exact same name. It doesn't work all that well no way on
OSX.

If it's "fixed", don't "break it"!

It only takes maybe three seconds on my system; but it's still annoying,
because it's useless.
