Word 2013 - Work with Master Documents very slow

Hello,
we changed from Office 2003 to Office 2013.
A user who creates many documentations by using master documents informed me, that he cannot work longer by using Word 2013, because extending master documents or refreshing table of contents takes long time.
In Word 2003 it takes few seconds, in Word 2013 in takes some minutes!
How can I improve this?
BR, David

The Master Documents "Feature"  in Word has long been broken. It remains broken in Word 2013 AFAIK. Read the linked article. There are alternatives. One of the easiest ways to lose
tremendous amounts of work is to edit documents in Master Documents form. That you have used it this long without losing work is a minor miracle.

  • Rendering and working with AE is very slow.

    Hey guys,
    I'm running on Windows XP Pro, Intel Core 2 Quad CPU, Q6600 @ 2.40Ghz, Clockspeed; 2,40Ghz, 3GB RAM. Whenever I'm working in AE it's very slow to use in full resolution. When I lower the resolution I still have to wait for the preview screen to 'load'. This is very annoying in a work situation. Am I doing something wrong? My pc is very fast with other 'heavy'programs.

    AE will auto-disable MP if it does not detect enough RAM. You can still toggle it, but AE won't use it in any case. You could only change that by flipping some switches in your BIOS (if it supports this) that will make your 4 cores appear as only 2 cores or one core even, but this has some other side effects like possibly requiring a full re-install of your entire system...
    The disk cache should be located on the fastest disk in your system. Doesn't matter which one, as long as it has enough space and is permanently available. Even a network drive or external disk would work. The only requirement is to create a dedicated directory for it. you can call it "Mom" or "Popsi" - doesn't matter. Calling it "AE Cache" would be smarter, though. ;-)
    As for the rest: Don't expect miracles. Processing an x number of pixels can take its time, especially with some effects and in 32bpc mode.
    Also be aware that, while AE will handle it, some compressed formats do not lend themselves for working interactively. AE needs to conform them and it will take time to look up the correct time index. This is further complicated if you have lots of clips or rather long clips. You can improve these behaviors sometimes by capturing to different CoDecs or converting the footage.
    Part of the problems also may come from the graphics card. Even without OpenGL, AE will use your hardware to decode certain formats if possible and also for accelerated drawing. If your graphics are not up to snuff, have a bad driver or simply are configured poorly, they may have the opposite effect and instead of accelerating your workflow slow it down...
    Lastly, make sure your system is in good shape. Work off the fastest disks, clean them regularly of temporary files, defragment them and make sure their RAID/ SATA drivers and configuration are flawless.

  • Does Visio 2013 work with Office 2010?

    Does Visio 2013 work with Office 2010?

    Tuesday 01/06/2015
    Take a look at this Microsoft KB
    KB2784668
    It has one reference to Visio and the support / install order of Office.
    Now with that said, regardless of 2010 vs. 2013, you can NOT mix 32-bit or 64-bit versions of Office.
    For example, lets say I installed Office 2010 SP2 64-bit
    (FYI... How to determine Office 2010 SP file version
    KB2121559)
    I then want to install Visio 2013 32-bit, the install will not work.
    You cant mix 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Office Products.
    TechNet article explains more...TechNet
    (FYI...A few more people are asking the same question...)
    Forum 1
    Forum 2
    (How to determine which version 32-bit or 64-bit version of Office is installed 
    Stackoverflow.com)
    Above article is dependent on Full Office being installed...  You can also query the DisplayName REG_SZ key as well, it will report back the Office version.
    Registry Location:
    HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall
    Look for the Office GUID in my example for 2010 64-bit SP2....
    Now with the above said, below are notes from one of our desktop support techs in regards to issues we have seen internally running Office 2010 32-bit SP1 and SP2 on Win 7 x64 Enterprise with Visio 2013.....
    Office interops. The ability for office and other applications to communicate with other office apps.
    The first instance today: User sends corporate communications from word using the send to mail recipient feature. After visio 2013 installed, he received a message stating that word could not communicate with outlook, to either repair office or check the
    server. Office was repaired, new outlook profile created. After research, discovered the office is sensitive to various versions in regards to interops. Discovered that Visio 2013 was installed around the time user experienced issues. After uninstalling visio,
    when launching word it began to configure (like for a first time install), the send mail to recipient feature began working. This probably will affect anyone with visio 2013. Visio 2010 was not reinstalled afterwards, as user barely uses it and was hesitant.
    Installation files are still on his machine in the event that he does need it reinstalled. Office version is 14.0.7109.5000 User is on Office 2010 SP2
    The second instance today: Teammate stopped working 3 weeks ago according to user. After working through several support groups here and working with the vendor support, the vendor noted that some dll’s from the application were not registered. If that didn’t
    fix it they suggested a reimage. After registering the dll’s, issue persisted. After further troubleshooting, determine that the feature that did not work for user consisted of teammate downloading information from a system, parsing it, then outputting it
    to a word document. The application provided no error of any sort, it just would never get to the word document portion. Discovered that Visio 2013 was installed around the time that the issue occurred, and that the issue appeared to be related to office interops.
    I uninstalled Visio 2013 and it began working as designed. In both cases Visio 2013 had been installed on 11/25/2014 (I didn’t see any corporate communication about an upgrade, but maybe one took place?). Office version is 14.0.7109.5000 User is on Office
    2010 SP2
    I’m not sure if you have much experience with interops, but pretty much anytime you want to communicate with a different office application, that is how it is done. Per my reading through various Microsoft KB’s and support forums, different version interops
    do not play well together always. It appears that these applications are trying to communicate to office 2010 (v 14) using 2013 (v15) interops, only after installing visio 2013 professional. Users were both Windows 7 x64. We also had a group of several users
    who also ran into issues with sharepoint not working in any browser, turned out the problem was Visio 2013 was well....
    Feel free to research more, but my own research comes down with having both 2010 and 2013 interops on the machine. To simplify it, the applications and office apps are being told to communicate using office 2013, and but only listen in 2010, causing problems.
    Its not causing problems with every simple interop, or we would see it far more widespread, but we are going to continue to see the “ghost” issues where Visio 2013 is the root cause, but nothing is really going to scream it.

  • "Restore last view settings when reopening documents" option not working with all documents

    Said option (found under Edit/Preferences, category Documents), which works like an automatic bookmark in that it takes you back to the same place you were at when you last closed a document, is very useful, but apparently doesn't work with *all* documents.
    - Does anyone know what determines whether a given document works with this option or not?
    - Is this by design or a bug? A matter of PDF format version?
    - Is there a way to work around the problem?
    I've compared two documents, only one of which works with the option, to determine what the relevant difference may be, and found two suspects (under File/Properties): the PDF version (1.5 in the document that works, 1.4 in the one that doesn't), and 'Fast Web View' ('yes' in the document that works, 'no' in the one that doesn't).
    Thanks,
    Michael

    This seems to be a problem with some PDF files.
    Suggested workaround: If the PDF you have allows "Save As", then try save-as to a new file. The "Restore last view settings when reopening documents" option should then work as expected (in the new file).

    I have Soundtrack Pro 1.1 It opens OK but the everything takes 4 or so seconds to work. It's very slow and unusable in its present state. Is this a well known problem?

    STP 3.0.1 was the version designed to work with OSX 10.6.8. Anything earlier than that and issues may arrise. Hard to tell what yours are.
    You may want to run Digital Rebellion's Preference Manager to reset the prefs back to the default state. If nothing else, it is a good troubleshooting step.
    Good luck.

  • Will Office Web Apps Server 2013 work with SharePoint 2013 sites hosted in SP2010 compatibility mode?

    We are planning a upgrade of a SP2010 farm to 2013. There has been a bit of customization so we wish to run the old sites on the new SP2013 platform in SP2010 compatibility mode.
    So my question is will Office Web Apps Server 2013 work with the old sites hosted in compatibility mode?
    I found a similar query from March 2014 found here 
    http://sharepoint.stackexchange.com/questions/93101/office-web-apps-2010-running-on-sharepoint-2013-for-compatibility-mode-sites/116281#116281 
    Has there been an update released to resolve this
    Cheers D

    Hi  ,
    According to your description, my understanding is that you need to know whether Office Web Apps 2013 is working with SharePoint 2013 sites which is in SharePoint 2010 compatibility mode.
    For my test, Office Web Apps 2013 with SharePoint 2013 sites which is in SharePoint 2010 compatibility mode is working fine.
    Thanks,

  • Does microsoft word 2010 work with spaces in osx 10.5.8?

    does microsoft word 2010 work with spaces in osx 10.5.8?

    In order to set up and install the new AirPort Extreme:
    Setup and Administration
    iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch with iOS 5 or later and AirPort Utility 1.3
    Mac with OS X Lion v10.7.5 or later and AirPort Utility 6.3
    would it work with my older osx 10.6.8?
    Yes, if you set up the new AirPort Extreme using the guidelines above. The 10.6.8 Mac will be able to connect to the AirPort Extreme, but it will not be able to make any configuration changes.
    Only the devices listed above can be used to set up and make any changes to the new AirPort.

  • Recently upgraded to Mavericks... was working with Pages documents from previous OS ... Pages is now frozen and I don't dare force quit and loose my old documents.

    Recently upgraded to Mavericks... was working with Pages documents created with previous OS ... Pages is now frozen and I don't dare force quit and loose my old documents.  How can I "thaw".... unfreeze Pages?  Have several pages windows open that I was working on. 

    I also had this problem after I installed Mavericks: Pages files freezing at close, need to force quit.
    Workaround: when saving any document created with an earlier version of Pages, be sure to untick the "include preview in document".
    For some reason, this resolves the problem.
    BTW "loose" is not a verb. You probably mean "lose".

  • While working with Google Documents Safari Version 7.1 on OS X 10.9.4 crahses all the time

    While working with Google Documents Safari Version 7.1 on OS X 10.9.4 crahses all the time
    Now I am working with FireFox
    Today I have noticed that FireFox had this Google Talk pop-up
    Maybe this pop-up Google Talk is what is causing Safari 7.1 to crash Attached JING of Google Talk pop-up on FireFox
    So, back to SAFARI 7.1..how to stop this pop-up from crashing Safari 7.1

    You downloaded a beta copy of 7.1 because the current version is 7.0.5. There was a mixup yesterday and 7.1 was accidentally made available for downloading. Do you have a backup you can restore from to get 7.0.5?
    You can also try running the combo update to see if it will restore it.

  • Master is very Slow, Because Slave Takes 20 minutes for "startup done"

    I have two db env to be backup for each other. I stopped one db env for 5 minutes, then restarted it. I found that it took over 20 minutes to receive the db callback event "startup done". During these time, there were transactions in the master db env. I guess this makes the sync_up process take so long time.
    I used the ack policy "DB_REPMGR_ACKS_ONE_PEER" and used "txn no sync" flag for transaction, so during these 25 minutes, master is very slow.
    My requirement is master can resume its performance as soon as slave comes back. Can slave accept the log before its sync completed? Or any other way to solve this issue?

    Most likely what happened is that the stopped dbenv is the only site/peer able to
    send the acknowledgement. If it is stopped but not disconnected, then the master
    will wait the full ACK timeout for every txn.
    It is also likely that during that 5 minutes, log files were archived and when the
    stopped dbenv became active again, it had to perform an internal initialization
    from scratch. That copies over every page of every database and then the logs
    needed to resynchronize. If you have a lot and/or very large database files,
    that can take a long time.
    The client cannot send any acks until it completes its synchronization. One
    way to avoid this would be to perform a manual hot backup to the client before
    starting up the application. You would have to copy over all database files, then
    all log files from the master (in that order) and then run catastrophic recovery
    in that client directory. Then start up your application and the client should be
    able to quickly synchronize.
    You can control this in the application by setting DB_REP_CONF_NOAUTOINIT
    to DB_ENV->rep_set_config. You'll get back an error that tells you that the site
    needs an re-initialization and you can do that copying then.
