Nope.  Word runs fine when sorted out.  Period.

(I'm the head of a user group with well over 6,000 Mac-using  
attorneys.  The overwhelming majority of them use Word, because it is  
really their only suitable choice.  Just about all of them find  
Word's performance completely acceptable.  I am receiving zero  
reports of speed issues with Word from them.  Of course, many of them  
would prefer to be using an updated version of WP/Mac, but that's not  
the point.)

Word ran slow on a PowerPC when it needed to be sorted out also.

Then how smart are they?

Hey, if you would rather bitch, whine and moan, instead of fixing  
things (which is not at all hard), and getting your work done, once  
again, that's fine.
But what  does that say about you, and how do you think that it looks  
to others?

Meanwhile I'm sitting here with a copy of Microsoft Word that zips.   
Running in emulation.  Period.
