Miserable performance for some Office XP functions
Brian
Office XP. So far, pulling down the fonts, selecting
File/Page Setup, selecting File/Print take many
minutes ... to the point where Word and Excel report (not
responding). I am running with Office XP Standard for
Students and Teachers SP2 and Windows XP Home SP1. My
printer is on a home network through a Linksys router,
attached to a Windows 98 machine.
Any suggestions for performance enhancements?

If Word can't access the printer you will see the type
of behavior you're seeing. What happens if you test
with a local printer?

very long delays, Word does ultimately complete the tasks,
and I can print to the network printer. So it appears
that its taking a "very long path" to find the printer ...
that's why I'm wondering if there is some setting or parm
not set up correctly.

more reasonable performance. So this is not an Office
problem but rather a problem with how XP works with a
network printer. Is there some kind of setup option or
driver setting that I need to adjust?
