[JAWS-Users] Slow motion
I have a couple of MS Word docs that are very large. One of them is about 1800 pages. That never presented a problem when I was using JAWS 8 with MS Word 2003 and XP Pro. Now I have a state-of-the-art laptop with Windows 7 64bit, much more RAM and a faster processor (supposedly) and every time I open this 1800 doc everything goes into super slow motion. When I open the doc I can go get a glass of water and come back and it may still be opening. If I try to Alt-Tab to another program, Outlook or Skype, for example, it takes forever to make the switch. Does anyone have an idea if this is related to JAWS 11 latest build, something wrong with MS Word 2007 or something with the computer itself?

Re: [JAWS-Users] Slow motion
Hi, I have Windows XP Jaws 11 and Word 2007. When I open a 1500 page document, I have the same slow down problem. I find that under 1000, pages works without this, but anything over that, the slow down occurs Vicky. - Original Message - From: wayne smith waynesoundsm...@earthlink.net To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Sent: Tuesday, October 26, 2010 11:48 AM Subject: [JAWS-Users] Slow motion I have a couple of MS Word docs that are very large.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Slow motion
Amazing! I also use Openoffice.org Writer and it is much more responsive than Word 2007. I think I know why more and more people are switching to Macs-I may bite the bullet and follow them.

Have these issues been reported to Freedom Scientific? If so, what did they have to say?

Re: [JAWS-Users] Slow motion
It seems that this would be a problem related to system resources, as opposed to a screen reader problem.
