Some ways to avoid some Word 2008 crashes
Authored by: montylee on Fri, May 9 2008 at 8:45AM PDT

Long ago with a previous version I turned off the Quick Save feature, and since then my crashes with Word became few and far between (thank heavens). Word 2008 seems to be pretty reliable but I'm not turning Quick Save on. As a side, I find Word 2008 extremely slow (and Excel) on an Intel Xeon 3 GHz machine, 6 gb RAM. Nothing I do speeds it up when opening and saving documents. It is like a dinosaur.
