Does he have some add-ins installed? Adobe Acrobat comes to mind. Acrobat adds macros to the Office programs which have to start up and shut down when you open/close the programs. Since you say it happens to him with both versions of Office, I'm thinking it's some common denominator. Ask your friend if he has any third party software he's using that adds features to his Office Programs.

I post this couple days ago, no responses, so I'm retrying now for your help or any clues. My friend have this trouble in using his MS Office 97 and 2000. It takes a long time every time he close any Office documents (take about 1-2 minutes to close just a 40-50 kb document) and this ONLY HAPPENED IN CLOSING MS OFFICE documents, not in saving that file (only takes a few seconds), or editing its contents like picture, text, or anything. On any other programs (like WordPad, Notepad, Visio, Instant Artist, etc), this has never happened (saving and closing these types of document file with same size Office documents only takes a few seconds), so I think it's not hardware performance problem (or it is?) His PC is a Pentium 133 MHz, 16 MB RAM, 2 GB HD, running Win 95 system. He has tried to reinstall this Office 97 and also has tried to upgrade to 2000 version, and still no change. It makes me curious, because my old PC with same spec has never have this problem. Any ideas? TIA Kiki ============= PCWorks Mailing List ================= Don't see your post?
