word is really slowing down when parsing a document

[Me]

I am parsing documents to convert them to another format.
My program does work fine but some documents are really verry slow
I don't know why certain documents are taking a verry long time to parse
Other documents (of the same size) are processing ok

does anyone knows why certain documents are parsing verry slow
and does anyone knows a sollution to this problem ?

kind regards

How are they being parsed, what are you doing with the parsed information
and what sort of information is in the documents?

Hi You,

You would have to show us the code that you are using. Copy and paste it
into a post that you send back to the ng.

Please post any further questions or followup to the newsgroups for the
benefit of others who may be interested. Unsolicited questions forwarded
directly to me will only be answered on a paid consulting basis.

Hope this helps

Hi You,

Large tables, especially nested tables, tend to slow things down.

Beyond that, you haven't given us a whole lot to go on, like what your
parsing is trying to do, what differences you might be aware of between th
slow documents and the others.

Have you tried working out which bits of your code are taking longest?

Think.

Asking what's wrong with your code without showing us your
code is like asking a doctor to diagnose a skin condition
over the telephone.
