Question Slow internet = Slow Word...

* Windows 7 64Bit
* Office 365 ProPlus
* Word Version 15.04727.1003



Hi

I usually work on a laptop logged into the network via a dedicated Ethernet cable.

Now and then I pick my laptop up and work elsewhere using wireless (shock horror )

When I do this, and the wireless connection is pretty shoddy, Word will play up, i.e. press a key, wait a few seconds, character appears or function actions

I cannot tell you how frustrating this is!

If I kill the internet completely (via a hardware switch on the laptop) Word stops this stupidity and acts normally. (Don't want to have internet killed as need to pick up emails)


Why is this and how can I stop it?

TIA

I guess you are saving to OneDrive? When you have a poor internet connection, it is better to save locally.

If that is the case, Word is not the issue. It would be your device and/or the connection to the internet...or something in between.

Hmmmm, yes, but Excel works fine and dandy. It only seems to be Word playing up.

Very odd.
