atw: Re: General question

Hi Chistine, I agree with the previous replies. I would be looking at a disk
cleanup then a defrag, and if they have not been done for a while, then
expect it to take some time. Sometimes for systems that have not had a
defrag for a very long time, then you may need to do two or three. Either
way, do the first one at the end of the working day. 
 
There are some software utilities that do offer this type of task, notably
Norton/Symantec. But I wouldn't want Symantec software on any of my systems
anymore - bloatware and then some. There are lots of utilities available by
doing Google searches (for example like the one I have just performed: "disk
clean-up utilities"). Some are not very good, some will be absolutely
excellent. 
 
Lots of RAM is recommended for Office 2007 if you want to be a power user. I
have nothing more to say about the Word issues of repaginating, as they are
pretty good suggestions that I would employ. But I am suspicious; 4Mb is not
THAT big for well constructed Word files these days...

Hi guys

 

I am using Word 2007 for a document with lots of tables.  My document has
now reached 4mb and is pushing the limits of my system.  I have worked on
much larger documents (up to 20mb) on this computer, but am thinking that
the effort of repaginating all those tables is the problem.  I intend to
keep the tables - they are much easier to maintain than numbered lists and
floating graphics, and I would rather not split the file.

 

Can anyone tell of me of any utilities that are designed to clean up the
computer, the RAM, the document, the screen shots - anything that will
reduce file size or free up some  "grunt" for my computer to handle this
file.

 

Short of that, I will have to upgrade my computer, as there is bigger and
nastier to come.

 

Ta, Christine
