Potential causes for Office for Mac documents open more slowly than expected are the following :

• Startup Items in conflict
• Delays in a network directory service Active Directory
• Configuration protocol discovery service damaged
• Permissions Problems
• A firewall of Mac OS X that has been activated
• Additions to the Office programs

I think that the main cause for slowing down the speed of an applications that opens in MS Office occurs because of the Startup Items in conflict. You can use Safe Mode to troubleshoot performance issues in Mac OS X 10.2 or later and to determine if there are startup items conflicts. This method requires that you move the / Library / StartupItems folder. This file exists only if the software was installed that requires the software to start when you start the computer. Antivirus software and Spyware are running applications that install items in this folder.

When you quit an Office for Mac, the program uses an Internet connection to validate the registration software program. If the firewall of Mac OS X is enabled, the default firewall that blocks outgoing transmission. Thus, the program stops responding for two minutes before going in and out. To determine if the firewall in Mac OS X is enabled, follow these steps :

1. In the Apple menu, click Options on the system.
2. Click on sharing.
3. Click Stop.
4. Close the Options window system.
5. Start the Office for Mac program and then test to see if the document still open slowly.

If the permissions of your Microsoft software are incorrect, the Office for Mac programs can start slowly. Or, the Office for Mac programs can perform slow after start.
