Some things you can try: Make sure Find Fast is not turned on and running in the background. Go to msconfig and see if it's there. Also, if Office is there, uncheck that too. Find Fast may also appear in your control panel, depending on the version of Office and Windows that you are using. In Words, Tools>Options, click on the Save tab and uncheck Always create backup copy (if it's checked) Same place, also uncheck Allow Fast Saves Delete temp files, run defrag, etc...all the stuff you do when resources are a problem. Also, how much RAM do you have? And again, please include the version of Word that you are using when you post these questions, since this makes a difference.

I've noticed some keyboard lag when typing in word. this keyboard lag doesn't occur in other programs such as wordpad, notepad, and Outlook Express. Is there anyway that I can decrease the lag. It kind of reminds me of typing on one of those typewriters where you hit the key and the striker is delayed by a few milliseconds.
