Word draws its fonts from a Font Cache it creates on first launch, and
maintains on each launch thereafter. This results in a speed improvement.
Using font managers that auto-activate fonts means fonts are coming or going
while the system runs, which invalidates the font cache and causes it to
rebuild on each launch.
I suggest that your system overall will run better if you remove all font
managers other than Font Book. Install the fonts you need and leave them
permanently enabled for all applications. Remove the fonts you don't use
from the system.
This sounds counter-intuitive, but your system will give a lot less trouble
if you do this. Applications these days do not expect fonts to be coming
and going, and they can behave badly when they find it happening.

Version: 2008 Operating System: Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger) Processor: Intel Use
Font Agent Pro but haven't had this happen to other versions of Mac OS. Takes
too long and not
needed. Supposed to auto activate only the needed font(s). Doesn't happen on
another mac with 10.5
