Re: How do u improve Word '07 to recognise shortcuts typed fast?

Hi Paul

For what it's worth, I have the same problem. I can type faster than Word
2007 can think. From what I can see, the designers put in a conscious delay
into the way the ribbon works. That is you press Alt, then waaaaaaiiiiit,
and then the letters on the ribbon appear. I assume that the same delay
prevents keyboard shortcuts from working quickly. It's been like that for me
since the first Beta of Office 2007 and I know no way to change it.

Hi JoAnn,
I dont run many programs at the same time and still have the problem when
i
only have excel open. It's weird... i consciously have to slow down my
shortcut typing by about 4-5 times so i can get it working properly. I'm
also
running Vista if that helps

Hi All,
Just confirming that my laptop has 2GB of RAM

you'll
need *at least* 1.5-2 GB in order for it to hum along briskly... More

you
can afford it.

Cheers for your thought though

For most times when i use shortcuts on Word 2007 it takes too long
for it
to
respond to my keystrokes and i dont get to where i want... my
speed
of
typing
shortcuts hasnt changed and i didnt have any problems in previous
versions
of
word. Is there a way to increase Word 2007's speed of recognition
of
shortcuts?
