Microsoft Word can be sometimes cumbersome to even load up. Especially if you're on the older machines and older OS, such as the Windows XP or Mac OS X 10.3 Tiger. So, here are a couple of tips on how to speed that process up.
First, delete some stuffs. When the disk is more than half full, it gets slower. That's why the old machines run really slow because it's full.
Second, delete some fonts. If you have loads of fonts, it takes just forever to load them!
Third, delete some templates. In my case, and especially for the newest versions of Word for both Mac and Windows PC, templates takes a really long time to load. Deleting the ones you don't use really help. You can always get them back later from the Microsoft website when you need it.
Fourth, try clearing some processes. Many background processes running at once will slow your computer down, and by a lot. This is especially problem if you have many programs checking in the background such as network.
And lastly, remove some of the unused extensions. Without extensions, the newest version of Word starts up in 4 seconds. Extensions take about 10 seconds for each of them.
This applies for all Microsoft Office components, that is, the Word, Powerpoint, and Excel.
Hopefully you'll find this useful and you speed up your process!
