Hi,
I have a DOT file, it's rather large (3,5MB) but works fine in Word 2003 and
Word 2007. The file has lots of functionality, userforms, modules and a
custom commandbar and i've already converted it to DOTM (1,5MB) with Custom
Ribbon UI instead of the commandbar. The problem is, that the DOTM file
ENORMOUSLY slows down Word 2007 startup (the dot-file needs to be in the
startup folder).
When I just load the old DOT file (exactly the same functionality, but not
in the new format) Word 2007 startup speed is fine. But then I cannot have
Custom Ribbon UI.
Is this a known issue or is there a way to speed up the loading of my DOTM
file? I really want to be able to use the Custom Ribbon UI XML.
P.S. I know my DOT file maybe should be a real Add-In (VSTO DLL or whatever)
but that will not happen soon for many reasons.
