| 707299 | 2008-09-23 23:43:00 | Hi there! I have done a quick search on the Office forum but not sure if it answers my problem as it was about Office 2000! When I double click on a MS Word/Excel 2003 document it takes a few minutes to open. Any one know why and how I can get them to open a lot quicker please? Oh, and for a little while (20/30 seconds) the whole computer freezes! I will try deleating the Word normal.bat as has been explained here (Press F1) somewhere. But I can't seem to find a possible Excel template to delete. Is there one?? Regards, Adrain :D |

| 707300 | 2008-09-23 23:46:00 | What size are the files? Have you waited for at least 30 seconds after logging on? BTW it's Normal.dot and I'm not sure if Excel has a default template. |
