Word 2003 so-o-o-o-o slo-o-o-o-ow

[McLauchlan, Kevin]

Hey gang, anybody know why Word would slow to a crawl and cause CPU
usage to peg at 100% - on an otherwise capable and not overloaded
machine with plenty of extra memory - only when I'm on the first page of
a 5-page doc and either typing or scrolling? That page has a full-page
background graphic and also has a photo of the product, while pages 2
through 5 are text and a 3-cm-tall page-width background graphic (in
other words, it fills the bottom margin below the text area.

I don't see the presence of the photo on page one being the cause,
because it's just not that big.... the whole file generates a Postscript
file that's only 6MB, so really.......

 

Thoughts?

Suggestions?

 

Kevin
