Hi

I have Outlook 2003 Within Microsoft Office 2003 Standard.

The Mail message editor in use is Microsoft Word (ie Use Microsoft Word as
Message Editor is checked)

When I create a new mail message, the message window opens, then it appears
to freeze for around 20-30 seconds. During this time anything that is input
does not appear, and the cursor is not flashing in any region.

When its "Freeze" ends the text that has been entered in the mean time then
appears.

Anyone have any idea why this is happening and how it can be rectified. I
tried "Detect and Repair" but that does not seem to have rectified it, I
also took a look at the Knowledge Base to no avail.

Thanks in advance

Shunts.....
