Word Slow to save

by jimklallsoo . Updated 21 years, 9 months ago

Hi All,

I have some users with a problem saving word 2000 files to the network.
When they open any Word document, either a new or previously created file, make an ammendment to the document and try to save the document to the network it takes at least a minute to save.

It also takes at least a minute to close the application when you click the cross in the applications top right hand corner.
(This happens both under the users and my own Admin login).

The happens wether the size of the document is large or small.

I have checked that #Journal is not on in Outlook.

I am using Word2k on a Win2k PC. PC is running all the latest service packs for both Office and Windows.

Strange thing is that when you try to open a document, amend and save to the C:/ it all works ok.

Office is installed/running in all instances from each problem PC’s C:/ as are all other machines on the network, which don’t seem to suffer from thsis problem.

I have looked for normal.dot by doing a find normal.* but it doesn’t seem to find normal.dot only a file named normal.FMT

Any light which can be thrown on this subject or possible fixes greatly appreciated.
