Type Lag & Images

[Mark L]

I have a Word 2007 report with a large figure (PNG; 1929x2373 pixels; 1.01MB)
inserted into a report. When I type in the line following the figure I get
massive type lag.

I tried it on my pc, a PC with 2GB RAM, and a PC 3GB RAM. Every computer
duplicated the type lag.

I have determined that it is the figure causing the slowdown. When I take it
out or use draft mode, the type speed is fine. I can also save the document
as a Word 2003 doc file and the speed is also fine.

***QUESTION***
Is there a way to insert large images into reports and not have Word 2007
experience type lag? Any thoughts on solutions to this problem would be
appreciated.

I find saving an older file version, to be very frustrating as a solution.
Why did my company pay good money for a new edition of Word and new features
only to have it lag in performance behind Word 2003?


***System Specs***
Windows Vista Business 32 bit
Service Pack 1

Pentium 4 CPU 3.00 GHz
1.00 GB RAM
