My Microsoft Word takes a extraordinarily long to open/close. Why

When I first open Word and when I close it, it seems to take forever. I also
use WordPerfect and it opens quickly every time and closes quickly.
Sometimes, when I want to prepare a document, I go to WordPerfect just
because I don't want to go through the wait for Word to open. When I say a
"long" time, I'm talking 15-20 seconds vs. WordPerfect at less than 3 seconds.
 
Thanks so much Anne, I will check it out! Glad to hear that it's not just me!
Meantime, take care.
 
Hi Anne:

Just wanted you to know that the article to which you referred me solved my
problem. Thanks so very much for taking the time to respond. I had a corrupt
Normal.dot file, so all I had to do was close Word, find the file named
Normal.dot on my hard drive and rename it Abnormal.dot. Then when I
reopened Word it automatically created a brand new "clean" Normal.dot
template file. Thanks again, and take care.
