Thumbnail view drives WINWORD.EXE CPU utlization to 95%+

[Mark Martel]

In certain documents (the example I discoverd this in was a
20+ page document with a few drawing canvases), use of
Thumbnail view drives utilization well over 90%+ even when
doing nothing else.

In fact, even if you change to view a different
application, utilization remains well over 70%+ on my system.

I'm using Office 2003 SP1 on Windows XP SP2 on a Dell
Inspiron 600m (Penium M 1.3Ghz, 512 megs RAM).

Is this the right place to note bugs or is there another
channel?

This is a good place to start.

I've tried duplicating this on my computer and don't see the same
behavior so first you should rule out the possibility of minor
corruption in your document.

- Create a new document
- Go to Insert/File
- Insert the contents of the document exhibiting the behavior

Do you encounter the same result on the new document?
