Word 2007: excessive CPU load in tables

[Slava]

Hello!

I noticed when I'm trying to move any table border (e.g. move one internal
vertical border left or right) using "mouse drag", the CPU load essentially
increases and could reach 100% while the left mouse button is pressed, even
for still mouse. This could be easily seen with Task Manager, Performance
tab. Seems in this case Word "grabs" almost all timeslices and doesn't return
them to OS. However, in other drag-n-drop operations (e.g. moving the
selected text with mouse) the CPU load remains low.

MS Word 12.0.4017.1003 beta, Windows XP, PIV-3000, RAM 1Gb.

That's not normal. There could be several problems that cause this but
favourite would be the printer driver. Check that you have the latest driver
available and then delete and reinstall the printer.

When I do the same thing, both Word 2007 and Word 2003 go to 50%. I have no
clue if this is normal, since I've never tried it before.

On my laptop, it goes to 98% in both Word 2007 and 2003.

I'll boot up Vista in a little while and see what happens there.

I should note that despite this, I don't see any adverse consequences since
I literally am not doing anything else when I'm dragging a table border.

Ditto here with Word performance issues. I'm running a Lenovo T60p, Core2
2.33GHz with 3GB RAM, the latest XP with updates, reinstalled released
version of Office Enterprise 2007 with NO add-in's hoping that would clean
things up. Still the same poor performance opening Word docs, switching
between Word doc windows, etc.

Suggestions?

Do you have a locally installed printer driver set as Windows Default?
