microsoft.public.word.vba.general

I tried your suggestions. They did not work. However, I just received some
more information on the problem that I think goes beyond this Forum.

DETAILS:
=====
I was informed that when this slow down is happening our users cannot use
Internet explorer because it appears to hang as well.

It appears that this problem is falls outside of the subject matter of this
forum.

Thank you for your responses. They were informative and gave me new insight
into the application.
