Yep, removing a few hundred (actually over 1000) fonts did the trick.
Thanks,

Hi Tim-
I have another user in the office that had the exact same problem. She had
installed all of the fonts that came with Corel (something like 1500) as
well as all the MapInfo and regular fonts and her text properties box took
forever to come up. I'd just remove the ones you don't need. The best way
to go about doing that is through the Control Panel>Fonts section of your
computer. Just pick all the ones you no longer require and hit Delete.
Hope that helps,
Jason
