Re: Resources Used by Startup Templates by Jonathan

Hi Ridge,
There's no simple answer to this. But there is a way in which you can check
this out.
Start up Word, and also start up Task manager, select the processes tab and
find the WINWORD.EXE process. Make a note of how much memory it is using.
Then load your add-in template and check again.
This will give you a measure of raw memory usage. But it won't do much to
measure usage of other resources such as handles.
Overall though, I've not found add-ins to be a resource problem unless they
were corrupt in some fashion. The worst effect is usually an increase in the
time it takes for Word to start up.
