Thanks for an additional idea.
tools/preference/services
In Word 2003/SP2, the Tools menu doesn't have a Preference item. Word
Help didn't seem to offer anything relevant when searching for
"preference", "services" or both.
The only Internet-related item presented was Online Collaboration.
The only other Internet-related feature I'm aware of is File | Send,
which invokes Outlook. But I don't use this because I prefer to use
FireFox + WebMail
If you've got any further idea about this, I'd be glad to hear it.

one other thing is to
see if word internet
service is enabled.
if so, then you might
want to disable it via
its tools/preference/services.

Thanks, good point. I'll try it over the weekend. If Word seems OK
in that context, I'll start cutting out some of the things that run
in background with the hope that I'll kill the culprit.
