Microsoft Office Professional 2007

[Wanda Myers]

I have a trial version on Office Professional 2007 but my old files were on
Office 2003. It takes a while after I get into each file before I can work
in it and it takes a while to save the file. What can I do? Do I need to
update Vista for it to work faster? I have had a horrible time since getting
this computer with Vista. It's either been Office not working properly or
printing taking so long because of networking.

Wanda,

You should update MS Office 2007 via Windows Update (upgrade to Windows
Ultimate Extras from W.U.). If you haven't already, go into 'Word Options >
Save', change the default save format from 'Word Document (* .docx)' to
'Word 97-2003 Document (*.doc)'.
Also, if you have you been saving your files with the 'The Web Server'
checked it will also slow the process down.

ps-You should probably be asking this in the Word group.

Wanda,

There are numerous reasons why a computer running Vista may have
"problems." (No doubt many fanti-bois will say it's Vista itself...
their opinion...) Some of the top reasons, in my humble opinion, are:

#1: Crapware that came pre-installed on the computer.
#2: Crappy drivers (though this is less of an issue than it was when
Vista was first released.)
#3: Crappy AV software... u don't have Symantec by any chance?

When you say "...Office not working properly..." are you talking about
Office 2003 or your trial version of 2007? (Would assume the latter, but
know that assumptions can be wrong.)

When you say "...printing taking so long because of networking." How do
you know networking is the issue?

And... more hw specs would help... how much RAM? How large is the hard
drive and how much free space is available? Although it is unusual to
see systems ship with 512MB RAM these days, there were systems that
shipped with 512MB RAM when Vista was first released and that is not
enough RAM to run Vista, imho.

Lang
