Just to add to Ronni's post.
If you're using Office 2008 it also stores settings in this locations:-
Macintosh HD/Users/yourname/Library/Prferences/Microsoft/Office 2008

Thanks to Ronni, Daniel, Robert and others for useful input on this

Hi Severin,
The bigger the Hard Drive the better, also a 7200-rpm preferred to a 5400-rpm.
I would like a 1TB or 2TB Hard Drive in my MacBook Pro ;-)
I get really worried if a 500GB Hard Drive gets to 100GB Available Space, I
like more than 30% Available Space.

Had me doing some spring cleaning as well when I saw bits of software

Have you noticed that there is no Apple de-frag application?

Hi Alastair,
I would increase your RAM for a start, more RAM helps speed things up, 8GB is
good ;-)
PS PS Elements use 'scratch disk'. If you had another internal drive on your
computer you could designate a separate disk as the scratch disk.
Your scratch disk needs to be as fast as the

I am running 10.5.8 on a G5 1.8SP and Office 2008. Recently I have
found that Word is behaving snitchy for want of a better
description. Slow and hesitant, spinning ball, closing with apology!,
hanging and needing forced close. Everything else seems normal though
I would say that
Same experience here. I have tried all the usual traps - generating
new docs from NEW, not save as from older ones, making sure the size
is kept to a minimum - I had an 8MB client doc the other day and the
bells rang immediately. Keep saving almost every edit and hope..

Hi Severin
How much free disk space do you have? 20% can be an issue...
Can you use Activity monitor to see what's happening?
The article in last week's MacTalk forum may be helpful.

Since installing the recent update to Office 2008 I have lost the bar
across the bottom of documents with the dictionary icon, page count
etc. This happened once before a long time ago and I can not for the
life of me get it back!
Help a forgetful old guy please!

How do I prevent Word 2008 opening a new blank document each time it
starts or each time I click it in the Dock when it is running with no
document open. Like many things Microsoft it is often too clever by
half for its own good.
Severin Crisp
Hi Severin
What do you want Word 2008 to do each time you start it? Mine goes
to the Project Gallery. If you want to set it to open in Project
Gallery, go to File - Project Gallery - Settings. There are a few
options there.
