Default MS WORD takes forever to open ..

Hello, Recently I've noticed that it takes from 20 to 25 seconds for WORD to open. I don't recall having this problem previously.



I am running Windows Vista and WORD 2007.

Any suggestions / help would be appreciated.

Tks ..

There are many things that could impact Word's startup performance, including:
• other processes that are running at the same time
• the loading of 3rd-party addins
• the loading of templates over a network
• damaged program files and/or templates
• poorly coded printer drivers
Repairing Word might help (Word Options|Resources|Diagnose) - at least it will minimize the risk that the problem is due to a fault in Word itself.

Thank you for the suggestions re how to make more WORD more efficient. I ran the Diagnostics; it repaired a problem and WORD opens much faster than before.
