John,
Just a thought... I have W2K loaded on my desktop and at times it also seems to slow down in areas that I don't recall having been slow before...
I'm just wondering whether or not it's W2K rather than the help files.
Best,
DD

is slower than RTF help, but I haven't at all found it a hinderance. Even the monstrous MSDN index responds pretty snappily on my machine. Maybe you need a new laptop? < g >
