Word 2003 Opens/Closes s-l-o-w-l-y

[Dan]

Hi, My Word program in Office 2003 had developed a problem whereby it open
slowly (10-15 seconds) and behaves this way upon opening current docs or
closing doc or the program itself. Someone else had me delete temp files and
I've done a repair and a remove & re-install of the Word program but none of
this helps. I've also made sure my BitDefender antivirus wasn't causing this
and I removed the Adobe pull downs from inside Word. I can't figure it out
as ALL the other Office program are robust in their working. ANY IDEAS...?
Thanks, Dan

Terry,

It was the Normal.dot file. After I renamed it the program works briskly
again. Thanks a bunch !!!! Dan
