How to reduce long delay before Microsoft Office document/s open?

[Guest]

Dear all, I have a problem with my computer related to Microsoft Office
documents I created on it. More specifically, I have to wait more than
10seconds in average before my MS document/s becomes/e available for reading
or for work. I work a lot on the computer and this long delay – waiting time
before MS office document/s opens/n is sometimes very frustrating. Would you
please advice me on how to have my MS document/s opened instantaneously or as
fast as possible? I believe there is an option within Windows where I could
adjust the delay in respect to MS document/s opening time, but I simply
cannot find it. I sincerely hope I can have my MS office document/s opened
instantaneously without any delay or as fast as possible. Within this email,
I ask for your help on this matter kindly.
P.S. I have Toshiba Satellite A15-S127 notebook computer with 2.00GHz Intel
Celeron{R} CPU & 752MB of RAM installed. Please note that I have Microsoft
Windows XP Home Edition Version 2002 – Service Pack 2 installed on the
machine.

Thank you very much,

Babaroga

This sounds like a seek time delay possibly.. Laptop, 5400 RPM drive?
How are you opening the file? Double-click on it and wait for word to ppen
it?
Office fully patched?
Machine kept clean? Defragmented often?
Is it faster to open Microsoft Word by itself (without opening a document?)
Is it faster to open Microsoft Word itself and then open a document with
File --> Open?

So, we're to guess if the appropriate Office application is already open,
and if an AV scan also occurs...

I am experiencing a similar problem with Office 2000. There is a lengthy
delay when clicking on the data file to open. When I open Word or Excel, the
application appears nearly instantly, as does the document when opened from
the File/ Open menu from within the program.
