Hi Barry,
Actually, that sounds about right. What I find is that the
file will actually be displaying on screen, but takes a
while to complete. It's possible that your screen reader is
just not able to do anything while that process is going on.
Be thankful you don't have any pictures in it too.!
Word does a huge amount of behind the scenes checking, so
turning off all possible options may speed things up a bit.
Things like interactive spellchecker, auto correct, etc..
George.
