extremely slow MS Office 2007

[oldtom]

Suddenly MS Office 2007 Word and Excell take forever to open, once the program begins, maybe 5 minutes later, it takes another 5 to 10 minutes to open a document. I didn't make any changes to the software or hardware. I am using Windows Vista Home Premium.

When you start Word, it gathers information to use for document formatting and printing operations. If the files, drivers, or fonts are damaged, missing, or located on a remote server, Word can require more time to connect to the server and gather the information that it needs.
