I have no other theory about this doc other than it is possessed
I manually copied a whole bunch more stuff from the FN of the original DOC and now it is working faster (not as fast as the old doc but moving closer
Totally flabergasted.
I have learned here overtime to do everything with style so that is covered. I have 10 text boxes in the margin that I added as a test, but would that slow things down so much? I still am allowing spell check because I make a lot of typos due to health-impaired motor skills

The only real difference between this and the old doc is that I have in the new doc, a graphic in the header (a nice separator) but it would be odd to think that is causing my issues.
wierd...
