Word begins to freeze up while opening a document.
It gets to the stage just before actually opening it, when it displays the number of characters in the document, and then just hangs there. The Task Manager says that Word is not reponding. We can end the task and continue to use other functions of the computer. It starts with just a few documents and slowly spreads to all documents being used. Our users have taken the same documents over to the EMU or library computers and been able to open them fine.
