It takes really long time to open word-documents

1.File - Open - takes a really long time!

Hello,

I am using Office 2003.  When I try to open a file, the open file dialog 
comes up and when I click the drop down arrow in the Look In: field, it 
takes a minute or two for the directory list to drop down.  It never used to 
take this long; however, recently, a dialog popped up and said something 
about indexing or searching (I didn't read it very closely - but clicked the 
OK button), then the next thing I know, every time I try to open a file, it 
takes forever to get the directory list.

Any idea how to turn this feature OFF.

Thanks for any suggestions.

2.Word 2002 takes long time to open Word document with missing templ

I have many documents that were created in previous version of Word 2002 in 
the network, and they were attached to a template that has been moved or no 
longer exists in the previous server.

They are now being opened VERY slowly in word 2002 (takes 2-3 minutes for 
few pages document). There is nothing very unique about these documents, they 
do have some tables in them. It is very basic. 

Is there any fix or patch which can solve this problem without modifying the 
Word documents? Any help would be appreciated.

3.Word 2003 Taking a Long time to open documents

I have a user who was recently upgraded to Windows XP SP2 with Word 2003 
Professional - all service packs have been applied.  All other user's in her 
area are Windows 2000 Professional with Word 2000 - Again all service packs 
have been applied.

When my user attempts to open most Word / Excel (PowerPoint has not been 
tried) files it takes an excessively long time to open these files.  These 
files were created in versions of Word previous to 2003.

While opening these files there is very little CPU or memory usage - 
although Word stays not responding - there are two instances of Word until 
the document opens.  In several cases, I noted that one Word icon was a 
previous version and the second Word 2003.

I have attempted the following:

From Microsoft Document - Article ID : 830561 

I have attached both the tempate that the document uses; as well as 
Normal.dot - both have failed.  And the document reverted to the template 
that it was created from.

I have deleted the normal.dot

Deleted and re-added printers.

4.Document takes a long time to open

I have MS Word 2002 SP 2 and windows 2000 SP4. On some 
documents, particularly documents about a year old and 
likely to be from an older version of word, or mail merge 
documents when I open them they take a long time to load, 
Not all word documents but a substantial number of them as 
the majority are a bit older. What appears to be the 
problem??

Many Thanks

5.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.
