to resolve this? The normal starting points are Repairing permissions and Verifying the hard drive.
How much available hard drive space do you have, by the way?
I'm having a real problem using Keynote -- every operation is slow. Have to wait for the typing to catch up etc. (I have experienced something similar in Pages).
I'm using a TiBook G4 400 with 384Mb RAM and I have tried it with NO OTHER apps running.
I do a lot of PowerPoint work and PP really flies. Similarly Phbotoshop and other graphics apps. I know my TiBook is getting on a bit but it is only in these iWork apps that I experience real problems..
There are a few reports of this around but not many.
Can anyone suggest what might be the cause of this unusual behaviour -- or are others experiencing something similar?
