Word 2013 slow typing

Hi Folks,

I am using Word 2013 that comes with my Office 365. I regularly paste photos into cells in a word document template that I use every day, and then write a description in a neighboring cell. It is saved in the most recent word format.

Just recently the display of the text when typing is veryyyyy slow showing up when typing after pasting the picture/s. I have used the Office 365 for 6 months or more before this issue cropped up. This issue has just started in last week or so. No hardware or driver issues on computer, and I have tried a system restore to a date prior to the problem with no results. I use Windows 7 Professional, service pack 1. Plenty of RAM, and a large 480 GB solid state hard drive for the C drive.

The weird thing is, if I save the document in the older format (word 97-2003) the program works fine, but that is not a good long term solution for numerous reasons. I have tried the disabling the hardware acceleration as suggested in other blogs, but that did not resolve the issue. I have also tried increasing the virtual memory, which did not help either. Getting ready to jump out a window, hope someone has a suggestion that works. Getting ready to go back to office 2010. Don't like the Outlook 2013 preview pane limited view of the body of the email issue, and this latest issue makes me crazy with all the time I have burned up on it...

Thanks in advance.

I have the same problem of extremely slow keyboard input with Word 365 (OS W7), but this has only just started happening (May 29 2016), having previously been OK.

This is what I have found:

Opening the same Word 365 docx file using Word 2010 on the same PC & all works fine.

Since this has only just started happening, I looked for the most recent Windows updates. Un-installing KB 3035583 fixed the problem. This is Microsoft's latest attempt to force users to move to Windows 10, but that's a whole new story.

Thanks for the update.

Interesting, and unexpected!, correlation.
