Word 2010...veerrryyyyy slow

[Nicole Jones]

Hi

In my team we work with documents that consist a lot of table
(sometimes the whole document) and we experience very slow performanc
(can take upto 30 seconds just for a part of the page to scroll down)
These documents can be as little as 3 pages and as big as a few hundred
and we always experience the same slowness when working with tables an
images.

I have been search for a solution and it doesnt seem to be a compute
performance issue as nothing else is affected and it is all computer
not just one.

I would really appreciate it if someone is able to assist us to speed u
Word.

Thank you

N

How many table rows are there in these documents? Usually, having at least one
row per page improves performance. You should also turn off "Automatically
resize to fit contents" in the Table Options dialog box. See

Thank you for your reply Stephan, the tables can be large, its not th
automatic sizing that is the issue because there are times when we onl
have a couple of very small tables & images and Word still slows dow
considerably.

I have seen on posts all over that this is a common gripe with users bu
no one seems to have come up with a fix.

This never happened with 2003 and earlier, I dont know why in the supe
age of technology it is happening now

Using Word 2010 myself, I haven't noticed that tables are generally more
slow than in older versions.

If you are seeing this with a particular document, you may want to
troubleshoot for document corruption.
