If Word is ended abruptly it can leave behind invisible ‘temp’ files that can continue to cause problems. Word performance can be affected by both factors outside of Word as well as settings within Word. But there are also a number of factors we can control to help speedup Microsoft Word and improve its performance. Sometimes the slowdown is outside of our control – such as the unexpected result of a Microsoft Office Update. So If Word becomes slow or unstable it multiplies the time and effort, not to mention frustration, it takes to complete our work.

As proposal writers we spend a lot of time in Microsoft Word.
