I have windows xp, IE 7 and word xp.

I have set my computer up so Word links are opened in the Word program, not
IE (my computer | tools | folder options | File types | Doc | Advanced and
unchecked "browse in same window").

The word opens in its own window just fine. My problem is closing the Word
application. Instead of immediately closing, it takes about 2-3 mins for the
application to close.

Is this normal? Is there anything else I can do to speed up the closing?
For users, they think there is something wrong and will force the close every
time.

Hi,
Journaling (in MS Outlook) can cause this.

Additional information on this and other possibilities at

Hope this helps,

Hi,
Everything I know about this is in that search ;-)

This sounds like a Word problem- not an Internet Explorer problem.

Is Word slow to close when the document was on the local drive- not on the
web?

You might try the Word group at

This only happens if I try to open a Word doc from a weblink. If I save
(instead of open) the doc onto the network or local drive, opening the doc
runs fine.

This happened ever since I can remember..word 2000, xp, ie 6 and 7...

I tried posting an email to the word newsgroup and didn't get an answer.
I'll try again.

Again, it takes a few mins for the word program to actually close.
weird eh?
