Word 2000 getting extremely slow

U

Uwe Molzahn

Hi

Using Office 2000 Word (version 9.0.0.7924) on Win XP Home (all updates
applied):

Word is really starting to drive me nuts. I'm usually working with documents
which have between 50 and 100 pages each. Every time I try to do a Search &
Replace in those docs, it takes about 30 seconds until the dialog pops up.
Also, when I close the application, it takes another minute or so until Word
finally decides to close. Has anyone out there an explanation for this
behaviour? I know that there must be something wrong, because at work I
handle much larger documents and I never have to wait that long.

Thanks in advance for any hints

Uwe
