Hi,
I agree with Jodie that the slow-down is probably associated with copy/pasting
from Publisher to Word. Therefore, it is always advisable to paste as Unformatted Text and after that apply the style (based on the template you are using). Ensure that correct template is attached with a file. Also check the images format as PNG takes lot of memory space. Preferred image format is JPEG.
Regards,
Deepika Vaid

Subject: Word retardation! Help!
I have an 85pp DOCX file in a 32-bit version of Word 2013 running on a Win7
Enterprise box. I have 3GB RAM, it's an Intel Core2 Quad Q6600 -at- 2 -dot- 40 GHz,
and there is 247GB freespace on C:.
There are not a bunch of graphics in the file and I'm editing it on my
local drive (not across the network). There are not a bunch of orphaned
temporary files in the working folder, nor anywhere else on the local drive.
The current problem is that Word has become v....e.....r.....y
u....n.....r.....e....s.....p.....o....n.....s.....i....v.....e. As I'm
attempted to paste in copied bits from Publisher 2013, Word is frequently
showing a [Not Responding] message in its title and saving a recovery file
prior to deciding, "Hey, it's OK" and letting me continue.
This is really holding up my progress and my supervisor is starting to
wonder what's wrong with me. The IT guy is of little help.
What to do?
Chris
