Hi all,
I'm getting a strange problem lately in Word (Office 10.1.6 on Mac OSX
10.2.8 -but I am asking more generally) namely: in a new document I begin
typing and the characters don't appear immediately. Sometimes they don't
appear at all, other times they appear after a pause of 2-5 seconds. The
machine itself is mainly idle (based upon looking at the results of top).
When the chars don't appear at all, I toggle the View of the document and
then they appear.

Any idea what could result in such a delay ? Should I add VB code to
AutoExec for the Normal template to re-fresh the ActiveWindow or something
along those lines ?

Any tips would be greatly appreciated!

Ed

G'day "mansky99" <mansky99@discussions.microsoft.com>,

This is a tough question. Essentially, I feel it is the time word
takes to recognise all your add-ins. The problem is it is all just a
collection of add-ins (even the screen renderer) trying to present a
result.
