http://www.officeformac.com/ms/microsoft.public.mac.office.word Hi,<br> <br> Every time I try to start up Word 08, I experience unusually slow<br> startup times. I have tried disabling fonts, etc., to no avail.<br> <br> Interestingly, if I try to start up Word 08 on Leopard's guest<br> account, it starts up fast. I have isolated the problem to being<br> related to my login, but I have tried everything from deleting all<br> Microsoft preferences to deleting the normal files to disabling my<br> fonts. None of these measures have solved the problem of slow startup<br> times for Word.<br> <br> When I launch Word, my activity monitor indicates that it is using<br> anywhere from 98 - 100% of my system resources. Many times this<br> triggers off loud fan noise from my Macbook...
