[QUOTE="Randy B. Singer, post: 1876674, member: 190607"] There are several different reasons why Word can be slow to open. The most common one is that Word has a program that it runs when first launched that looks at all of your installed fonts and checks to see if they are in good shape (not corrupted), called "Fontcachetool". You can often speed the opening of Word by making sure that your fonts are in tip top shape so that Fontcachetool speeds through it's check. The good news is that the tool to do so is already installed on your Mac and it comes from Apple. Use the Mac OS's included utility Font Book to both "Validate Fonts" and to "Resolve Duplicates": [URL unfurl="true"]https://support.apple.com/guide/font-book/install-and-validate-fonts-fntbk1000/mac[/URL] [/QUOTE]
