Hi all,



I would greatly appreciate some help! I use Track Changes all the time (I'm an editor). However, as I've been working this morning, the text in my comments is appearing very, very slowly. I've been sitting and waiting for my text to appear for thirty or forty seconds! This is a new issue for me--it just started this morning. I looked this issue up on another forum posted a few years ago, and users said it was a bug.

I have tried opening and closing the document, but it hasn't helped. When I'm typing in a blank word document (not Track Changes), there is no problem.

Any guidance would be wonderful.

Thanks,

J

System performance might have been slow due to Office updating (MS released a swag of updates on 17 October) or because your AV software was doing a scan.

If the document is still sluggish, it might have acquired some form of corruption. Corrupt documents can often be 'repaired' by inserting a new, empty, paragraph at the very end, copying everything except that new paragraph to a new document based on the same template (headers & footers may need to be copied separately), closing the old document and saving the new one over it.

Other than that, it might be worthwhile repairing the Office installation (via Programs & Features > Microsoft Office > Change in the Windows Control Panel).
