Apart from the obvious “use less tables” and “break tables apart”, these can also help big time:
- Run %WinDir%\System32\SystemPropertiesPerformance.exe
- Choose “Ajust for best performance” (it will disable all visual enhancements)
- Re-enable “Smooth edges of screen fonts” (it will make it easier to set bold and italic apart in Word)
If it is still too slow, I might look into these:
- Change default printer: Word: Very slow to load and respond. Solved. | CyberText Newsletter.
- Disabling animations in Office 2013 — Within Windows.
- How to Speed Up Microsoft Word 2007 and 2010.
- Slow lag in typing within tables – Google Groups.
