Word 2003 is very slow opening and closing

[Guest]

All suggestions found so far were tried, except turning off spell correction.
Small improuvment. No visible spyware under McAfee and Microsoft antispyware.
Now what? uninstall anr re-install word 2003? It happens with longs or small
files.

"All suggestions found so far were tried...Now what?"

How are we supposed to know what "all suggestions found so far" includes?
Once you start a new thread, no one knows what suggestions you received.

One thing that can do this, is the presence of Open Office file
associations - they can slow down the File Open dialog box, etc.

If so, try removing Open Office file associations.
