Topic properties slow to open

I right-click on a topic heading in the word document.
I select "Properties".
After about 7 seconds I finally get the topic Properties
dialog.
Is it normal for it to be this slow?
Is there anything I can do, or do differently to speed this
up?
(Word 2007, Robohelp 7.02.0001)

Regrettably it is quite normal. I have seen several reports
of it and whilst I don't use RH for Word, I see the same on a fast
machine.
Nothing I can suggest to improve things.

  • When I attempt to edit Topic Properties of an open topic, RH crashes

    Using RH10, to generate CHM files.  When I attempt to edit topic properties of an open topic, RH crashes.  Is there a patch for this?
    Thanks!

    Are all other programs working correctly?
    Have IT made any changes that might be relevant?
    Was Rh10 working OK or is this a new installation that has never worked? In other words your earlier version was OK but the problem started on upgrade.
    Have you rebooted the PC since this started?
    Beyond that it might be time to consider a reinstall.
    Let us know how you get on.

The iPhone "My Name here" could not be synced because the iPhone could not be found on the network. that is a pop up box in middle of screen that says that it does it like every time I go to sync the phone after i do app updates. I am getting very frustrated by this can someone please help. I have made 2 other discussion topics about this and no replies on them. Please if anyone can help I ask for help. This has occurred ever since the iOS 5.1 update and the iTunes 10.6.0 and still continues with the iTunes 10.6.1 update just yesterday and perhaps even worse now. PLEASE HELP IF YOU CAN. I have looked through my network settings etc and everything looks good here on my side.

  • Dreamweaver CS5 Slow to Open File... Enable Related Files

    Hello,
    I have a page that uses the Fancybox script and it takes Dreamweaver 50 seconds to open this page.
    This script requires jQuery, so in the head of my page I have this:
    <script type="text/javascript" src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.4.2.min.js"></script>
    If I comment that line out, the page opens immediately. Also, if I disable "Enable Related Files", the page opens immediately... neither option is a good one of course.
    It's my guess that dreamweaver is retrieving and parsing the remote jQuery file which is what is slowing things down. How to I stop dreamweaver from going after remote files???
    I was hoping setting "Discover Dynacially-Related Files" to "Disabled" would do the trick, but trying that has led me to another problem that I posted in a different topic which is that Dreamweaver won't save the selection for "Discover Dynamically-Related Files". That option always returns to "Manually".
    Any ideas how to stop dreamweaver from retrieving remote files?
    Thanks!

    Im on a mac with CS5 and I have started getting an issue with one of my sites where it is slow to open the files. I tried following the steps in the article you attached here but I can not find that preference file at  /Users/Your User Name/Library/Preferences. In fact, I don't have a library under /users/my name.
    I can open files fine on a different site, but for some reason just this one is giving me trouble.

  • Excel very slow to open files

    Recently installed Microsoft office 2010 pro and certain excel files are very slow to open. Every other program opens just fine, however when I open certain documents they can take up to 2-3 minutes to open. If I try to open multiple excel documents at the
    same time my computer freezes. I disabled all of the add-ons, however it did not do anything. Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix this issue?

    Try this :
    Go to a folder in Windows Explorer, then Tools ->
    Folder Options, then the
    File Types tab. For each of XLS, XLSM, XLSB, XLSX, etcetera, select it, then click
    Advanced, (if Advanced doesnt show, click Restore first, then Advanced) select
    Open in the

  • Why my Illustrator CC is now very slow for opening a 2MB AI file (about 5 minutes), at the beginning (1 month ago) it was very fast (10 seconds).

    Why my Illustrator CC is now very slow for opening a 2MB AI file (about 5 minutes), at the beginning (1 month ago) it was very fast (10 seconds).

    Assuming that you system meets minimal requirements for CC, make sure you have enough space on your hard drive. By saying enough, I try not to cross 3/4 of its capacity but trivially saying, the more free space the better and the faster the drive the better (I've been considering an SSD drive but still running a regular HDD).
    If you are on Windows, clean up the %TEMP% folder regularly and keep the disk neat using the defragmentation tool.
    Click Start>Run>enter %temp% , wait for the files to load and select all, hit Shift+DEL to remove them permanently.
    For the defrag tool, you can use either the defrag /? command from the command line or right-click the drive, click Properties > Tools > Defragmentation>Defragment Now
    Other than that it requires deeper analysis to find performance bottleneck.

  • Quickbooks slow to open over network

    Quickbooks is Database Server Manager is Running R6.5554 each of the end computers is fully patched (not sure version don't have it in front of me). I was thinking that too but I am getting the same issue when I try and run it from a client computer (not touched in server upgrade) to another client computer. 

    I have a customer that I updated from Server 2003 R2 to Server 2012 R2 Essentials. Now they are complaining though that the quickbooks is very slow to open and I have confirmed it takes about 60 seconds from the login screen of quickbooks to having the file open.My first thought was the HDD was failing so I replaced the entire OS drive with a new SSD. Same issue.Then I thought maybe it was the server's fault so i copied the file to a end users computer and the login process was almost instant.So to take the test farther I then told that computer to host the QB file and connected another computer to the computer hosting the file (straight though no switch just direct connection) and the computer hosting the file was working great. The laptop I was trying to open over the test network was same as loading from the server 60 seconds+...

  • Encore CS5 Slow to Open, Switch App

    Encore CS5 seems unusually slow to open a particular project file, and to switch into focus (i.e., from another running member of the suite). The file in question has half a dozen slide shows, encompassing about 350 Photoshop files. The individual Photoshop files are fairly large (e.g., >35MB). Could that be causing this unusual sluggishness?

    I would convert the mp3 files to wav. There are just too many tales of problems.
    I wonder if this is one of those situations where using the "run as administrator" may help.
    Your current project may be corrupt. I find it easiest to start over, using the scaled down images and wav files.

  • Open and Save Dialogs Slow to Open and Populate

    In all of my apps, the Open and Save dialogs have become very slow to open and populate since installing Snow Leopard, when the machine is connected to a Windows server. Disconnecting from the server solves the problem; reconnecting causes it to reappear.
    This only happens on some of my machines, and not others
    Any thoughts on what this could be. The delay is significant (about 10 seconds in all).

    Roy,
    I've got the same problem. I've been charting the slowness, i.e. the time until the app responds and opens the save dialog box, and most apps hover around 2 minutes of waiting.
    My home network consists of a belkin n+ router (running only with the N radio, and WPA2 security), one ethernet-connected powerbook with a USB-connected hard disk (640GB+), and my MBP connecting by wireless. The USB HD is used as a Time Machine backup disk, and the backups are extremely slow, on the order of 2 GB's per hour at most.
    That said, I called up Apple Tech Support and they had me flash my PRAM, restart the machine, and Reset Safari (since that was the app I called about). These efforts, unfortunately, did not fix the issue.
    I will be passing on the fact that Tech Support's efforts did not solve the problem--maybe they'll get back to me on the issue. If so, I'll post it here.

  • Report slow to open in Crystal

    Some of my reports are very slow to open in Crystal Reports 2011. It can take up to a minute for a report to open.
    Once the report opens, generating data is quick.
    Consequently reports are slow to open in the Crystal viewer within my application as well.
    It does not happen with all reports, any suggestions as to the cause or some solutions to try.
    Thank you
    Luke.

    Hi Luke,
    Moved to the SDK forum.
    Any reason is you may have the Verify Database options checked on. Or it could be your report is looking for the printer in the report across your domain.
    Typically though if the Verify is checked on a one minute time out happens for ODBC data sources if the DSN is not available.
    So need more info:
    What version of CR Designer are you using?
    What SDK and version are you using?

  • Pages on my iPad3 has become very slow to open documents after upgrading to ios7. I've clicked on a folder 5 minutes ago and am still waiting. The work-around seems to be to force-close it, but I've needed to do this many times in the last few days.

    Pages on my iPad3 has become very slow to open documents after upgrading to ios7.
    I posted on here about this a few weeks back and someone suggested force-closing Pages -- and that does indeed enable me to open things -- but I have had to force-close many times in the last 24 hours, which is worrying. Are there any other suggestions?
    I am sometimes also finding that, when I have been writing something and then click on "documents" the screen goes blank, there is a wait of around a minute and then the same document is re-displayed, before clicking "documents" again lets me look at other documents -- which is a pain if I am trying to move between documents repeatedly. Again, words of wisdom on this would be great.
    Pages under iOS6 opened quickly, and there was an immediate loss of performance when I upgraded. I am finding this very frustrating because I don't feel that the new Pages has added to the facilities I was using, but a slowness to open documents is frustrating.
    Thanks

  • Why does my firefox start page keep opening in a foreign language, no matter how many times i have uninstalled and reinstalled the US English version? also, why is it so slow to open, if it opens at all now?

    it wants me to believe it's opening in Spanish, but that is not the language that appears on the start page, looks like it might be German? also, since i have reinstalled, mozilla/firefox is extremely slow to open, if, in fact, it opens at all. if i stop the process, and then proceed to open something else via the toolbar, i.e., aol mail, etc., i get to where i need to be.

    If the Google (Firefox) or Yahoo home page is in the wrong language then see:

  • Safari is slow to open and close. It also slows down other apps while running. Should I reload safari and if so, how do I do so?

    Safari is slow to open and close. It also slows down other apps while it is running. How can I resolve this issue?

    From the Safari menu bar, select
    Safari ▹ Preferences ▹ Extensions
    Turn all extensions OFF and test. If the problem is resolved, turn extensions back ON and then disable them one or a few at a time until you find the culprit.
    If you wish, you may be able to salvage the malfunctioning extension by uninstalling and reinstalling it. That will revert its settings to the defaults.
    If there's no improvement, continue as follows.
    From the Safari menu bar, select
    Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data
    and confirm. Test.

  • Open and Save Dialogs Very Slow to Open and Populate

    In all of my apps, the Open and Save dialogs have become +very slow+ to open and populate since installing Snow Leapoard.
    This only happens on one of my machines, and not others. (I've unmounted all connected drives, just to eliminate that possibility.)
    Any thoughts on what this could be. The delay is significant (and feels like the old days of Windows, which I thought I'd left behind).

    The problem now appears to have gone away. The only change I've made is that I replaced an external drive that had recently died with a new one and gave it the same name as the failed drive.
    Could a the dead drive have left something behind (or failed to leave something behind) that is stumbled over (or looked for and not found) each time the file system was accessed, and that got cleaned up (or re-created) when the new drive was connected and renamed?
