I am working with a large MS Word document of 700 pages. Any time I have the document open, it is all-too-often repaginating or doing some or other task for which it puts the cursor in "think mode", or lists itself as "Word not responding". And even when these activities are not going on it finds one way or another of making my laptop fan race like no other program does. This is a new computer and quite well endowed; even then, MS Word puts quite high demands on it. I followed the online instructions for turning off repagination, and still the repagination continues. When all I am doing is typing text and doing other such routine tasks in MS Word, I would not expect the program to be so demanding of computer resources. Is there any way to instruct MS Word to cut out all the extraneous task making and just keep itself to the basic work of word processing so that my computer can relax?
