I hope this is the right group. I am using Word 2002 on
XP Home and the startup and shutdown for Word 2002 is
extremely slow. Is there anyting that can be done to
improve the speed? WP11 is way faster.

Thanks,
Bob

Thanks, that helped a little but still quite slow and shutdown is still just
as slow. This problem and the annoying repeating runtime error as well as
no "reveal codes" and other features are why I steer away from Word vs.
WP11. Any way to speed it up more?

Runtime error suggests a badly behaved add-in or Word autoexec macro and has
nothing to do with the core application.
Word cannot 'reveal codes' as it doesn't use codes for formatting. It uses
styles.

Any way to speed it up more? That only helped a little.

Hello Suzanne,

It is slow for documents, slower for big than little, but just as slow for
the application alone too. I do not use Outlook, just outlook express.

Thank you,

How long is it taking? Is this just for the app itself or for every
document? If the latter, do you have journaling enabled in Outlook?

See http://www.mvps.org/word/FAQs/AppErrors/ProbsOpeningWord.htm for more
suggestions.

I tried ALL the suggestions in your link and the speed remains the same. So
I don't know what is up with that.
