'Save As' in Word used to be instant. Now I get 30 seconds of spinning beach ball. I've tried a lot of things, including: -- disk repair -- permissions repair -- zapping PRAM -- anti-virus scan -- uninstalling Quicksilver -- putting iDisk Sync to Manual -- adding 512Gb RAM (now 1Gb) -- running MacJanitor -- running Tiger Cache Cleaner I'm getting desperate. No clue what to do next. Any suggestions gratefully received. Thanks. I'm running Word 2004 for Mac (v.11.2) on a G5 dual 1.8 Ghz, 1Gb RAM. Tiger 10.4.4

- 1. restricting access to documents
Version: 2008 Operating System: Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard) How do I restrict access to excel documents? - 2. Set default FAX number
Version: 2008 Operating System: Mac OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard) Processor: Intel I would like to add a default FAX number in the Preferences -> User Information section, but the telephone entry for FAX number is grayed out. I have no idea how to set this -- without it, all templates that use this field are not filled in appropriately. - 3. Quit Word 2008 in Snow Leopard time ?
I've noticed since upgrading to Snow Leopard that when I quit Word 2008 it takes a long time, as it always had, but now the Menu Bar changes so on the "left" end there is just the Apple icon and then a Script icon next to it (where the running application title is normally). Is this normal or should I go on a search for answers to this and perhaps other yet to see problems? Thanks for any tips. -- Norm - 4. Office Address Book included in ?
When I install MS Office, I sometimes do and sometimes don't install all of the Office apps. For Office 2008, I installed just the two apps I use: Word and Excel. In order to use Office's Address Book in Word, I gather I need to install other apps. Is that correct? If so, any need to Uninstall first or can I just install the one or more additional Office 2008 apps? Thanks for the help. -- Norm

You've tried the standard OS fixes--try the standard Word fixes now, listed here. http://www.**--****.com/ (hit refresh a few times in Safari, or use a different browser) Work through them one by one until something helps. If nothing does, post back. The most common culprit is a corrupted Normal template or damaged Preferences file. -- Daiya Mitchell, MVP Mac/Word Word FAQ: http://www.**--****.com/ MacWord Tips: < http://www.**--****.com/ ; What's an MVP?

1.Word and excel constantly giving me 10 - 30 seconds spinning beach balls
Leopard 10.5.4, Word 12.1.2 (2008), 4 GB, fairly new machine 2.6GHz Intel. Just doing simple things like selecting menus, copy small amounts of text, going from one word document to another word document, I am constantly getting a spinning beach ball that lasts 10 - 30 seconds. This seems to happen in both Word and Excel. What gives? I tried Excel 2004 and did not have this problem at all with the same document.
2.Spinning beach ball or slow down or freeze on opening windows sourced Word doc
I open a word doc that was emailed to me from a windows user. I see the document open and can see the first screen of it quickly. Then Word freezes and if I click on the scroll bar, nothing happens and I get the spinning beach ball. This lasts for a few minutes then the document is usable in a normal way. [other programs running work fine during this time, it only seems to impact Word] There are no graphics, or linked material that would cause the scroll to generate processor overhead. It does not happen with documents created in Word for OS X. Is anyone experiencing this or am I imagining it. Thanks, ...Marco.
3.Inserting A Contact in a Word 2004 Table Causes Spinning Beach Ball
I'm trying to insert a contact, and/or an associated address, into a Word table - something which I could do with alacrity in Word X (on a good day with a following wind) - but which now causes the multi-coloured 'pizza of death' to appear. Dear fellow Word 2004 users, please try this for me. Open a new blank document. Insert a two column, to row table. Insert the curser in the first cell. Find a contact, using the 'Contact' Toolbar. Click to insert. After a short pause does the dreaded pizza appear ? (Word is not responding, dear reader) Or. Try clicking on the 'Include Address' button in the 'Contact' Toolbar. Does the dreaded pizza appear ? Why is this, or more to the point, how can I stop it from doing this ? It would, then, be possible to be able to insert multiple contacts in a label template which, incidentally, uses a table for formatting.
4.word and spinning beach ball
A user called me and said that all of a sudden, his microsoft word x file started having a spinning colored ball appear and he could not do anything in the program. He forced quit, but does anyone know why this is happening and what can be done about it? I removed his words settings 10, but is there anything else that can be done?
5.Spinning Beach Ball - MS Word X & OS 10.3.2
I seem to notice a correlation between seeing the spinning beach ball more often after launching MS Word for OSX. I removed the PDFMaker.Lib and this improved the performance a great deal, but still noticing the SBB more often after launching Word. Anyone know about this?
