Documents takes ages to load?

[Anders Biro]

Hello, I have come across the problem that certain documents takes up to a
minute to load (or effectively the word application hangs for a long time
before showing the documents)
This does only happen with certain documents and I have tried installations
of both Office 2003 Professional and Small Business Edition with the same
result.
At some computers they still work like a dream so they cannot be corrupted
but takes a long time to load at most Office installations? What could
possibly be wrong? Is it a configuration issue?

See http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=830561 "Documents that
have attached templates take a long time to open in Word 2002 and
in Word 2003".

you could also remove the printer. when you open the file, it will shape
itself to the printer settings
if the printer cannot be found it will keep trying for a while.
