For instance Word continuously repaginates to give a WYSIWYG display. While it seems a nice idea, the downside is that as you hit a few hundred pages it does soak the CPU.
Here's another issue. After I backup my work I find that STILL!!! I need to delete NORMAL.DOT from time to time (weekly) to keep that file from bloating and causing issues. It's been a decade since Word 95 rolled out with that issue. No one seems to know how long that bug will live on.

I have a dell optiplex 620 with 1.80 ghz processor and 2 gig of memory. I am working on a 200+ page word document. I have been monitoring my performace in the windows task manager and see that I am using 100% of my cycles. I have also heard that Word has issues with long document. Does any know why my cpu utilizaiton should be so high or if there is any information about Word and large documents?
