I am using Word 2002 to write long reports that are mostly
boilerplate templates. My Word documents read merge
fields from an Excel file that I change for every new
report that I write. However, when I fire up Word and
load a document, it takes like 1 minute to come up and 50%
of the times I get this message saying "This task is
taking longer than expected. Do you want to continue
waiting?". My questions are:
1. Why does it take so long to open up a document with
links to an excel file
2. How do I avoid getting this message?
Other info:
I have a P4 computer with 1GB of fast RAM, 2 serial ATA
drives running stripped RAID, WinXP home and Office XP.
Thank you.
