I wish I have your knowledge of the product to be able to troubleshoot it
myself. It seems like there are related threads regarding word memory leaks
but the others mostly end up with an error while my experience is temporary
as word eventually settles back to normal operations after what seem like a
car engine revving to warm up. (This temporary warming up is annoying though
because the whole systems slows to a crawl.)
A suggestion propped up to turn off speech recognition. I dont think I have
it installed but how do i know if it's installed and enabled and if so how
do i disable it?
Thanks
