Hi All,
I have a 1000page of MS word document.
When i try to open it it tkae 30 to 40 sec to open the document.
Why is my MS word slow.
Is it because of the System confugration or bec' of word itself, i have a AMD 64x2 processor and 896 MB of RAM.

Is sometimes related to the your hardware and how much memory you have, the best way is to have as much ram your system can take (also the cheapest way) to give your system a boost.
Hope this helps you.

Please post back if you have more problems or questions.

Hello,

This is normal for Word as it was never designed to process Data this large. Does it still open slowly if you open a 1 page Document?

I would guess not. But as Word is a Word Processor not a Large Volume Editor it gets slower and slower the bigger the File is that you try to open and will continue to slow down till it eventually is unable to open Documents at all when they get excessively large.

If you need to use Large Documents go to a Publishing Program like Ventura which is designed for working with large files.

You could clear the Prefetch files by clicking on start>RUN> PREFETCH, highlight all the files & del them, then again go to START>RUN>%TEMP%, clear that too, but i belive Ventura is a proper software to work with.
