Hi!
my word xp occasionally is getting mad, when i open and
edit some documents, it starts to use up to 50% of
processor (its athlon 1800M)so it should not,does any one
has a clue what may cause that.

Usually, this is due to a language conflict between the document language
and the language settings in the Windows Control Panel. You can check this
by turning off the Spelling and Grammar whilst you type options and test
several suspect documents to see if that lowers the processing.

Other possibilities range from partial corruption of the printer driver or
of the documents. Also make sure that under Tools, Options, Save tab that
you have FastSaves deselected - renowned for corrupting documents.

convert those files into wpd format and back, they seem
work normally after this operation. Word Perfect hanldes
