Hi,
Typing in Word 2003 has started to type slowly in the last week or so. Every other program works normally but not Word. Why has this started to happen?

I run 512MB RAM & 41.9GB Hard Drive. PC 2005 model. Am I out of RAM?

The words appearing slowly could be due to a number of system resources being low

The best way to find out is to go to task manager (press ctrl+alt+del) and find out if something is taking a high amount of CPU or RAM.

Hello,

I have slow-down problem too with Word 2003 since yesterday.

When i change the position of the caret, using the mouse or the keyboard arrows, it freezes for a short time, like 0.3 to 0.8 second.
No freeze though when typing.
Checked CPU and HDD resources, all at 0% (Perfmon)

Any idea ?

I just solved my problem.

I have Sybase PowerDesigner 12 installed.
This program also added an Add-in into Word 2003.

This add-in was the problem (probably an incompatibility with the last Office hotfixes).
I just uninstalled (disabled) it and Word works just fine ^^.

-------
What i did :
1. Word => Add-ins => WordToRQM => Remove
2. Close Word and confirm saving "WordToRqm.dot"
3. Goto "C:\Program Files\Sybase\
PowerDesigner 12\Add-ins\Microsoft Word Import Export"
4. unregister WordToRqm.dll ( regsvr32 /u WordToRqm.dll )
5. rename the "Microsoft Word Import Export" by "Microsoft Word Import Export.DISABLED" (or anything else)

I have the exact same problem and have had a heck of a time trying to find a solution. Can you clarify on your last step:
5. rename the "Microsoft Word Import Export" by "Microsoft Word Import Export.DISABLED" (or anything else)

Thanks.

I just realized you were talking about the "Microsoft Word Import Export" folder.

Thank for you help. It resolved my problem also.
