MS Word 2002 Startup

I could not find a "MS Word" newsgroup, so I am placing my question here. A
while ago, when I opened my MS Word right after booting my machine, it was
immediately available to open or search for the record I wanted. Since then,
I have installed several suggested updates over time. It is now at Word
2002, SP3. Somewhere along the line, it is no longer ready to open or search
for a record when I first open it. It may take at least 30 seconds before I
can actually use it, like it is loading something before actually being
ready for use. Once this time has gone by, it stays available immediately
for any other searches. I am running Windows XP home edition with all the
latest updates. I have tried to find some option that would make my Word
program ready right after windows comes up like it used to do, but have had
no luck. I have not tried reloading the program from my original CD's I got
from Dell with my machine over 4 years ago, because it would be very
down-level, and I may not be able to get back to the level I am now using.
I can still use the Word program, but I have to go through this delay the
first time I try using it after starting up my XP system. When I did not
have this delay in the past, I don't think windows was starting and running
automatically. I would always have to start it from my home page. What
changed is the delay it now takes before I can do a search. However, I can
still start creating a new file immediately after starting the program. I
just can't open any existing files until after this delay. I would
appreciate any suggestions you may have. Thanks, Charles Ranheim
