office 2007 - test: Winword is slow...

Hi!



When using winword 2007 with multiple windows opened or even self-standing I
have noticed that it often takes a few moments until the current opened
window (in word) regains responsiveness. This is quite annoying when you
often switch between windows in order to look for references etc. in other
programs or text-files.



Is this a common problem? What can I do to avoid it?


My system:
WinXP prof
notebook: C2D 2.0Ghz, 2Gb RAM, 160GB HD, ATI mobility 1600

Kind regards!

That's not something I've experienced here. On my new build I can run
Word etc and not suffer responsiveness issues.

Do you have any add-ins such as Adobe, or Macros? Perhaps something is
taking a long time to sort itself out when you switch to the Word
window.

Yeah, I have thought of that, too.
But Office "took care" of the Acrobat add-in. Which is gone now... I guess
that there must be some "interference" from other running programs or
remnats from the beta version (although I was asked to uninstall everything
before installing the test-version).

Maybe I will take the time to set up the system from the ground...

Thank you!
