Nicki Hi,
I would suggest checking out how many fonts you have on your comp -
could be that is what is slowing down everything in office programs as
the more there are the longer it takes to load and check them!!!!

"To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and
the affection
of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the
betrayal
of false friends; to appreciate beauty, to find the best in others; to
leave the world
a little better; whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a
redeemed social condition;
to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived.
This is the meaning of success."
-Ralph Waldo Emerson
