Hiya,
I think that the original poster wanted to say there is a delay
between time I type words/letter and them being displayed on Monitor.
Thinks I can think about to try:
* look for any addins or globals templates, look at tools>templates
and addins and look under global templates if you have anything
selected, if not follow further hints
* before going further I would try to run Repair and Verify disk
permission from Disk Utility and update office and then run Repair and
Verify disk permission again
* trashing normal template (
http://word.mvps.org/mac/
MacWordNormal.html)
* trashing preferences (
http://word.mvps.org/Mac/DamagedPrefs.html)
*(could be that speech recognition is on and Words waiting for input?
Cannot see, I'm not on Mac, can someone else please check it?)
