Thanks a lot for those who have been helping me through a bad
patch of WORD problems. It’s all better but still have problems.
To cut to the chase, I’ve totally control panel removed OfficeXP
and re-installed, renamed normal.dot as normal.old and a few
other helpful suggestions … Thank you again!
But when I am editing a file and, say, put the cursor at a point
in a word, the program is apt to sit there for a little bit, the dread
(not responding) pops up on title bar and we play a little waiting
game. Usually, I win. That is, Word suddenly wakes up and we
do something else but it won’t be but a few keystrokes before we
play that same game again. Yes, I’ve done detect and repair
several times. I’ve dutifully reported these incidents to MS and
I’m sure Bill Gates has his minions onworking.
