Running Word 7 and Windows 10:

Word now hesitates between letters when i type, backspace, and delete. In those later two functions, the letters don't more in a continuous, scrolling fashion, and they never get to the point where whole words are being deleted.

I have unchecked "allow background saves", without results. I have run Word diagnostics and passed all five. I have erased the existing normal.docx. Note: this only happens in word and no other word processing program, or here, for example. It never happen before with this version. I can find nothing in task manager to suggest I am overwhelming the memory.

Finally, it is less pronounced when working with .doc documents, but it still exists.
