Word is very slow when I try to move characters around

[Omatase]

I'm having to manually manipulate about 400 characters in a word doc
individually. This process is very slow. Word seems to do a lot of
layout stuff each time I add or delete a character. Is there a way to
tell Word not to do the layout stuff when I do this to each character?
Like a way to turn off auto layout adjustment or something?

Thanks
