[MacTUG] Spinning beach ball with Office 2011

[Donald Duff-McCracken]

We have a few folks that get lovely spinning beach balls with office. Needless to say I can find a lot of stuff out there on the web about this, but nothing seems to be jumping out at me.

We are not talking about crashing and we are really not talking about the startup process. We are talking about random 15 to 30+ second periods where the beach ball will show up grinding everything to a halt. Some people have moved back to the previous version and things are fine there. I have not personally encountered it. It is of course, nice and random so they cannot replicate it always for us but we have seen it on their machines. It is usually Word or Excel doing it and not always super complex documents.

Any words of wisdom on this one?
