I am in power point. I can not get the typing to respond right away. I have
to wait for a few seconds before I see the print

Do you have a printer driver installed and set as the default printer? PPT
needs that, even if you don't really have a printer attached to your
computer.

Sorry I should of explained better. When I type a letter with my keyboard it
types the first few letters then I have to wait a few seconds before I see it
in power point. I can continue to write and gradually it will appear on the
screen but not right away. Then some times it will tell me to wait before I
can print more. This is only in power point. If you can help me this will be
great Thanks

Yes, I understand.

Again, PPT sometimes does strange things if you don't have a printer driver
available. So, back to my original question -- do you have a printer driver
installed to your hard drive and set as the default printer, even if you
don't have a printer actually attached to your computer.

Well, poop. I was hoping it would be as easy as that.

Did you try the things listed in the link Steve suggested?
PowerPoint gets the SLOWS
http://www.rdpslides.com/pptfaq/FAQ00114.htm

These are a good next step, especially the one about turning off the
spellcheck.

FWIW, what you're experiencing isn't typical behavior, so don't get
discouraged with your new software yet!

Thanks Steve for your help as I told Echo I did get some improvement by
uninstalling and installing again. I also down loaded some updates. I will
just keep trying.
