Working in Tables 2007 Very Slow

[Andrea]

I recently upgraded to Office 2007, and I'm finding that when I need to edit
the cells in a table, it's extremely slow. I'm using Windows XP, SP3, fully
updated. Is there a setting I need to change to fix this?

Does this happen with all tables or just with large ones? Does it happen in
all documents or just in some?

With large tables (that is, tables that span multiple pages), the rule is
that you should insert a new row at least once per page.
