Hello,
My DOC files take a long time to open with Word 2003.
I’ve seen a solution in several old threads:
1.) Open My Computer.
2.) Go to Tools -> Folder Options, and click on File Types.
3.) Find the extension of the file in question (XLS, DOC, etc.)
4.) Highlight the extension, and click \"Advanced.\"
5.) Highlight the \"Open\" Action, and click \"Edit\â€
6.) Click into the \"Application used...\" field, and scroll to the end
of the command.
7.) Put a space at the end, and type in \"%1\" (With the quotes.)
8.) Uncheck \"Use DDE.\"
9.) Click \"OK.\"
I remember using this in the past, and it worked.
But now (possibly after applying Office SP3?), I uncheck “Use DDEâ€
but it doesn’t stick.
How can I make it permanent?
Alternatively, how can I get Office documents to open faster?
TIA, regards,
JL
