Processor utilization

[Guest]

It's definitely Word. The processor runs @ 100% the entire time the document is open. If I switch
over to the Task Manager, the utilization drops to 0%. I flip back to Word and it jumps back to
100%. I have learned that it doesn't do it on documents of about a page or less. Anything longer
than that and the processor just goes crazy until I close Word.

Any ideas what it's doing? More importantly, how do I make it behave like a good like program?

Thanks!

Did you look to see if it was Word that was using 100%? When you first open the Task Manager it will be on
or around 100% as it's gathering in information for everywhere. If it was Word you sould see it saying
Word.exe PID and then CPU. If that CPU figure was at 100% then it was word.

The only program that was running was Word. I pulled up the utilization monitor and the usage
dropped to 0%. I flipped back over to Word and it jumped back to 100%. The spell check had
already finished with the document.

Does anyone have an idea what Word is doing when it should be idle? Any thoughts on a
remedy?

Thanks.
