MS Word 2002 documents slow to open after adding macros

by Debbie ^Ž 03/03/2008, 09:03:11

I added 21 macros to my MS Word 2002 normal.dot to speed up my editing process. Now it takes about a minute for each document to open. Is there a way to keep the macros but speed up the opening of documents?
