excel and word

[Fred]

I have an issue, a problem with excel and word.

Sometimes word and excel loads very slowly when i start an excel or word
file, for example, i can go away for a few minutes before its working
correctly. My colleuges dont have the same problem.

Do you have any suggestions?

Does the file open quickly IF you open the application first, THEN
select the file?

Thank you for the help

Yes it´s working in that way faster for now, but i must be able to open
excel file and wordfile from the desktop to? what´s wrong, should i change
something or do i have to reinstall offfice?

I've only tried this on Office 2003 and earlier but if the problem is
ONLY when you double-click on a file to open it, then the problem is
likely due to DDE. It can be fixed by reinstalling, OR this workaround.

Go to Control Panel, Folder Options, File Types, scroll down to and
select (DOC for Word files) or XLS (for Excel files), click Advanced,
select Open entry, click the edit Button.
Now uncheck "Use DDE" and then put your cursor in the Application box,
arrow all the way to the right and put in "%1" (include the quote
marks), IF there is /dde remove it. Then OK you way out. Things should
work quickly again.
