P2002 S-L-O-W on Page Change

[John Wendt]

Recently "upgraded" to Publisher 2002 from Publisher
2000. A three-page document now requires about 45 seconds
to switch from one page to another. One of the pages has
about 12 text frames and 3 photos. I copied the file and
removed all frames. Same delay. (And this file, that now
has no visible content, has a size of 2.2MB.)

This behavior is identical on two machines (removed 2002
from one machine and installed on another.) First machine
is W2K, 600MHz, 256MB. Second is XP, 2.3GHz, 512MHz.

Is this video related? Both machines have 64MB display
cards. All Office, OS, and driver updates have been
applied.

I contacted my vendor about returning 2002. He asked if I
had queried MS tech support. How do I do that without
having to pay more for a product that doesn't work? I
can't find any free support.

Thanks,

John

Sorry. The reason for the repost was that the original
hadn't showed up after several hours. Still hasn't.
Thought I'd done something wrong.

Could you cut and paste your original reply? Thanks.

The original has showed up, otherwise how could I have replied to it?
