Word Taking Long Time to Open

[Keith]

Just rolled out a new IT training suite at my work.

Brand new Dell PCs (3GHz), Office XP Pro.

Office applications work well - very fast. EXCEPT Word. Word takes about 1
to 2 minutes to open. Doesn't matter if other Office apps have been opened
previously or not. Also does it each time Word is opened.

Any ideas?

Computers are heavily locked down using GPOs, but no specific settings for
Word are pushed out.

Computers use local profiles, with the exception of desktop and start menu
which come from network location.

HELP!
