slow responses Word2002

[Tom Barkas]

On opening Word 2002, there is a pause of a few seconds before the
cursor becomes operational and I get two noises on the speakers.
Opening a document also results in the pause, but the worst is with
two documents open in a single window and going back and forth between
the two, when, each time, I have a block of about 4 seconds which gets
really irritating if you are trying to work - it feels as if I spend
as much time waiting as working. Any ideas what to do about it?

Hi Terry,

A combination of removing the Office plug in for NAV and removing
most of Office seems to have worked - I was a little worried till I
rebooted, as I was getting 4 loud noises instead of 2 and it was
taking a long time to do things, but seems to be working now.

Thanks.

Tom
