You might try using Ctrl+Alt+Delete to bring up the Task Manager when you experience one of these delays (keep it open so that you can just click on it quickly). Look at the Processes tab and see if you can pin down which process is hogging CPU cycles. It may be some kind of indexing (either Windows or Google Desktop or the like). If so, I don't know what to tell you to do about it, but perhaps that will provide a start.

I have been using Word 2007 off and on for the past couple of years since I
got it with my laptop. I am working on a software project and, lately, I need
to write some long documents with Word.
I am encountering five to ten second pauses or lockups in the applications
for no apparent reason. I can type during this time with no response from the
app. After the pause, the characters I typed appear. It is getting very
frustrating.
I am using a Dell Inspiron laptop that came with Office 2007 when it was new.
Here is the information on it:
Mobile AMD Sempron Processor 3500+ 1.8 GHZ
32 bit operating system
2 GB Ram
I know that Word uses some type of auto-saving, but I do not think that this
is causing the problem. My documents are getting to be over 10 pages, but it
would surprise me if that was the problem.
I do not have any other applications running when this happens.
My documents are in my Documents folder when I am working on them. I save
regularly when I finish a big section of text.
I am not doing anything special or fancy. I am just typing text with the
"Normal" style. There are no images or graphics at all. And, I am not typing
very fast.
Does anyone have a suggestion about this?
Is there some setting that is causing these glitches?
