Re: Slow loading of images when MacWord loads files from HTML page

Thanks for your comments Jim
The whole document is actually HTML and so the pictures are inserted using
standard web resource techniques (eg http/server/images/myimg.gif) and then
Mac:word is taking the HTML and rendering it as a document. It certainly
seems like a Mac:Office limitation so I'll log it with Microsoft.
Thanks again!

Hi Andrew,
If I understand your dilemma, the images are located on somewhere on the
network rather than being contained in the document and it takes a very
long time for the images to appear.
Unfortunately, that is the behavior of Mac office. One or two pictures
will load reasonably quickly, but once you get past a handful it seems to
take forever. There is certainly room for improvement of this feature
across the board in Mac office.
It would be a good idea for you to alert Microsoft to this problem via the
feedback mechanism in Office. (Help > Send Feedback) It's likely that
MacBU does not realize how this feature is being (or at least trying to be
used).
You don't mention how the pictures are put into the Word document in the
first place. Are you using Insert > Field Code?
Since the pictures are the same, it might be faster (but a lot more
complicated) if you bring just one picture then use a macro to copy it and
then paste it elsewhere in the document. No guarantees, either.
If you can get the resolution of the picture and/or the file size reduced
that might speed things up.

Hello there
I have written a web applicaiton that includes an "export to word"
function whereby the the web page is opened in word (or Excel) via the
mime type of the returned web page. The web page includes standard HTML
elements including an image tag - this same image is repeated up to 50
times within the same document and therefore relies on Word interpretting
the HTML page correctly. The application is intranet based on a fast
(100mbs) network.
I am having a strange problem where by the image elements of the
documents take an extremely long time to load when displayed in Mac:Word
or Excel (up to 30 mins for 50 images all of which are the same) - the
images are loaded in batches of 5-10 at a time with a long wait
inbetween. The image load never actually fails but is consistently very
time consuming on multiple machines. When the images are loading a image
place holder is displayed consistenting of a red, green and blue sphere,
box and triangle - it is not the broken image icon. Loading the same web
page on a Windows based machine with Word or Excel results in all the
images being loaded almost instantaneously. Given this, I was wondering
if was something to do with a browser caching setting and I have tested
those that seem relevant but no luck as of yet although I was exactly
sure whicfh settings would affect MacOffice behaviour - I assumed the
machines Internet Explorer instance.
Has anyone else seen this behaviour before or have any clues as to which
settings would be a good idea to take a look at?
The configuration is: MacOS X with Word 2004 (versiuon 11.2, 060202).
Regards
Andrew
