@kathy: "I tried the trick of opening Window's calender and it still hasn't helped. 
Saving even the smallest attachment is agonizingly slow.  It hangs up the 
whole program so I forward them to an outside mail address to open all 
attachments. There has got to be a better way.  Suggestions?
Also: having stopped all virus scanning openinng Word is still a thumb 
twiddling process.  Other office programs open with no problems. All add in 
are disabled.  Is there anything left to try?"
