MS Office Forum / Publisher / Programming / August 2006Publisher 2003 extremely sluggish
I use Publisher 2003 at work (in a school - Networked computers) and at home (Pentium 4) and lately it has become incredibly slow. All my other programs are working fine both at work and home. Publisher is now taking at least 3-5 minutes to respond to a simple task i.e. clicking on a piece of Wordart. I publish the school newsletter each week and as this can have up to 12 pages (reduced to booklet size via printer) it is driving me crazy! Our IT Techs don't know why this is occurring. Can anyone PLEASE suggest possible reasons for this and recommend what to do? Video driver? http://ed.mvps.org/Static.aspx?=Publisher/FAQs Read the third FAQ in the above article.

I have been doing the newsletter now for 3 years and have basically kept the same format and just updated the info each week. Can't remember what we were running at school when I started. I will open a new document in Pub 2003 and transfer the info over and see if that helps. I updated my Video Card Driver last night and I think that has made some difference. thanks for the help > See if this is relevant > The program stops responding when you try to open or to save a file in an Office [quoted text clipped - 21 lines] > >> > Our IT Techs don't know why this is occurring.

That's probably the problem. It's a recipe for disaster. > Can't remember what we were > running at school when I started.

Then save that as a Publisher Template, and create new newsletters based on that, rather than on the previous edition.

SignatureEd Bennett - MVP Microsoft Publisher http://ed.mvps.org It has been occuring on both computers, my home one only very recently, however only when using Publisher. I borrowed a laptop from work and Publisher 2003 on that was not as slow. > > I use Publisher 2003 at work (in a school - Networked computers) and at > > home (Pentium 4) and lately it has become incredibly slow.

Different hardware, different programs running in the background, etc can affect that.

Empty your temp cache, in Internet Explorer, tools, Internet options, delete files. Delete unnecessary temporary files, Click Start, click Run, type %temp%, and then click OK. Delete the contents of this folder. If any of the items are important and should not be deleted, move the items to another folder. I'd advise keeping all Office setup files. In you document, open the Graphics Manager, expand "show" to missing/modified pictures, are there images still listed that are no longer part of your newsletter?
