Word/Excel 97 Hanging for minutes at a time...

In the recent months, multiple users have been complaining about Word and Excel taking minutes to save documents. The documents are not very large at all.

It looks like what happens is the document is saved, then the cursor stays on the crossbar icon and you can't click anything. After a minute or two (of nothing happening at all), all of the sudden the program springs back to life and you can do whatever you need.

I've also noticed these applications pausing for several seconds on end while bolding or italicizing words or cells.

Anybody know what might be happening here?

Ian
