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!

- 1. Office XP safe mode
I'm trying to get the Automated Safe Mode to fix and prompt me after I deleted the AutoCorrect List file (*.acl). Office will replace the file but it is supposedly suppose to check as I open an app (word, excel, etc.) and prompt me with options. Has anyone had any dealings with this? any suggestions? Thanks, Pete - 2. Word Dictionaries
Hi all, I had the German Dictionary installed in Office XP and now that I upgraded to 2003 I only have an online Bi-Lingual Dictionary available for German. I do have right-click word correction capability for German so I know that a dictionary for German must be installed somewhere. I had the XP Proofing Tools installed with all the German selected to Run From My Computer. When I run XP proofing tools setup from the Control Panel to modify the installation I definately have German stuff installed, including the thesaurus. I don't get why I don't have a local German dictionary listed in the Research Options in the 2003 translation window. Does anybody know how to just copy a dictionary from say another computer and just put it in with the other dictionaries? I'm getting so frustrated with this that I just want to install it on another computer and copy the file and put it where it needs to be. I can't translate anything unless I am online and that sucks because I have a slow connection. Thanks in advance, - 3. wdb files
Hi, we just got a new computer and I installed office xp standard. I copied a works spreadsheet onto a disc and now can't open in it in anything. it has an extension of wdb. i tried everything. what am i doing wrong? please email me an answere - 4. Create your drawing here
Hi, Does anyone know how to get rid of that "Create Your Drawing Here" area that appears when you choose an item from the Drawing menu, or try to inster a text box? It never did it on Office 2000. Thanks. Anthony - 5. setting filters?

1.Word takes long time to open/close
XP pro/Word 2000 It takes 40 seconds to either open or close Word document. But in Windows 2000 pro, it takes no more than 3 or 4 seconds. Both systmes are running the same Anti- Virus. Thanks
2.Deleting block of text takes a long, long, LONG time
When I try to delete selected (highlighted) text, nothing seems to happen for a very long time. Word 2007 seems to just sit and think, and does nothing for 30s to a minute. For very short pieces of text (several characters) it goes faster, for medium sized (1 page), the delay is unnaceptable. This happens regardless of whether I use Backspace, Delete, Ctrl+X, or just type over selected text. It's a very big issue when using any macros that rely on repeatedly pasting/deleting blocks of text, such as any of the translation tools that integrate with Word via macros (Trados, Logoport). I'm using Word 2007 SP2 (and a computer fast enough to run most new games, so you'd think deleting 600 words would not be a problem...) Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
3.Word attachments taking a LONG time to open from Outlook
We've got a user that regularly gets a word doc from his clients. when he tries to open the attachment, it can take literally a minute, up to a minute and a half before the file opens, and we're only talking a single page of text. When he forwards the email to me, I can open it almost instantly. As far as software goes, we're all on Office 2003 Small Business (using cached exchange mode), Win XP with all updates, and AVG Enterprise 7.x antivirus. The systems are Dell Optiplex 745's with Core 2 chips and at least 1Gb of RAM. For all intents and purposes, this user shouldn't be having any issues with opening the files. Is there some way to find out what attachments take so long to open?
