Word Screen Refresh

[jeanmac]

When I open a template I have created with a picture logo and macros in it,
the screen refresh is really slow. Is there any way I can make this quicker?
Thank you.

Use a smaller, simpler graphic as the logo.

That would be really nice, however the logo is company standard and I have no
choice - I would if I could. I've tried putting
Application.screenupdating=false in the code but it made no difference.

If the logo really is electronically heavy, then I'd make a quick estimate
of how much unnecessary network space is being used by the logo, and tell
the head of IT about it. There's absolutely no reason for something like
that anymore...company standard or no.

How did you put the logo into the document in the first place? If you simply
copied and pasted from a graphics application, you have inserted it as an
application object -- so when you load the document, you're also firing up
the application that renders the graphic.

Open the graphic in a graphic editor, set it to the size you need to end up
with in Word, then set the resolution to 96dpi, then save it as a GIF. The
use Insert > Picture to bring it into Word.
