Word X loads slowly

Damon Holley

When I open word X Ver. 10.1.5 for the first time it hangs for about 5
minutes. What is wrong?

Hi Damon,

There are several possibilities. Did you repair permissions after updating?
Go to Macintosh HD/Applications/Utilities. Open up Disk Utility. Select
your hard disk, then click the First Aid tab. Click the button to "Repair
Disk Permissions".

Perhaps the most common cause of this though is Extensis Suitcase. See this
article: <http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;837066>

If that's not it, post back.
