Why is M$ Word so slow?
I swear, it takes 10 seconds sometimes to save a document, (though sometmes it is instantaneous), and I have to turn off all the auto correct as you type "features" becasue it is just to distarcting to be typing away and every time I make the FIrst TWo LEtters in caps by accident it takes it seemingly forever to correct it. Same thing with symbols, like converting two dashes into one, etc. Now this are nice little features, but come on...I when I was on my iBook I htought the problem was with the iBook, but is actually seems worse on my TiBook. This is one piece of bloatware I wish I could do without... <img src="graemlins/oyvey.gif" border="0" alt="[oyvey]" />

As I posted in that thread, I think you're right. I turned off the feedback thing and it seems to have speeded it up immensely. I was actually so used to Word being slow, I'm still pleasantly surprised when it's not. That's called setting your sights low boys and girls. Hey, if it makes me happy....
