Hi,

I am running a Mac Ventura 13.6.5, 16GB Memory, 2.3 GHz Dual-Core Intel Core i5.

I am encountering an issue with Word, when the document becomes longer than one page, it is lagging so badly, it's unusable.

I have tried uninstalling/reinstalling.

I have updated the. software.

I have tried moving the document from being saved in iCloud to being saved locally.

I have turned off 'show comments'.

I have no images in my documents.

No headers/footers. They are just simple Word documents.

I have tried turning on/off background saves. Nothing is helping and I'm so, so frustrated. I downloaded Open Office to test the docs, and there is no lag, the issue is with Word.

Please help!
