Why does Word keep freezing?

[Guest]

Word frequently freezes in the middle of typing. It doesn't crash, but it
just sits there "working". Any ideas why this may be happening? I'm using
Word 2003 and Windows XP professional.

Hi A.J.

There are any number of possible causes of this.

Start with following the instructions at the following page (even if Word
hasn't crashed):

Then try the troubleshooting steps at:

Hope this helps.
