This is a very wild guess, but check that you haven't got "Edit -
Changes - Record" turned on. Because if "Edit - Changes - Show" is also
turned off you may not be aware of it, and it can make Writer behave in
ways that appear a little strange after prolonged use, slowing Writer
down considerably, and the symptoms can be similar to what you describe,
if I recall correctly.

If you find it turned on then you should probably go to "Edit - Changes
- Accept or Reject" and click the "Accept All" button, or accept or
reject each change individually.
