MS Office Forum / Word / Programming / September 2006Word Slooowwww When Opening Document with Embedded VB Widgets
We have an application which displays Word documents. Since our application is view only, we've been using the Word Viewer to display our documents. Recently, we shifted over to use Word via Automation, for better programmatic integration. Our application is working, but we've noticed that some documents take much longer to open. We've traced this to documents which contain VBA programming with embedded VB widgets (controls). In comparison, these documents open in a flash with WordViewer, but take 4 - 5 seconds to open in Word itself. The fact that WordViewer can open these documents quickly gives me hope that perhaps there is a way to open these quickly within Word itself. Any ideas? Thanks very much for your help! - Joe Geretz - If you're opening them in Word itself, Word has to resolve the code library references for each widget (via the registry), then find, open, and initialize the code libraries. It also has to initialize the VBA code in the document itself and its related template, likewise dealing with any referenced libraries. The Viewer doesn't do any of that. > We have an application which displays Word documents.

That is, just open a read-only copy of the document? You may wonder why not just use the Word Viewer in that case? The trouble with the Word Viewer is that it doesn't provide any interface for acting as the server to a client software, it's designed strictly for interactive purposes. This being the case, it's awkward to programmatically control the Word Viewer from aother application. For this reason, we've switched over to use Word itself, but we're now seing this undesirable behavior. So if we could somehow get Word to behave like Word Viewer, that would be perfect for us.
