How to Make MS Office Load Faster

1. Open Microsoft Word. Click the Office logo in the top left. Click on 'Options.' Click on 'Add-Ins.'
2. Look at the bottom of the screen to the right of the word 'Manage.' Choose 'Com Add-Ins.' Click 'Go.'
3. Uncheck the add-ins and click 'OK.' Add-Ins provide extra utility at the cost of reducing your speed. It may be useful to turn all of the add-ins off, then turn them on one at a time to identify what each add-in is doing to help you.
4. Repeat steps 1 through 3 for PowerPoint, Access, and Excel.
5. Click on 'Tools.' Click on 'Trust Center.' Scroll to the bottom and click on 'Add-Ins.' This procedure works for Outlook, Infopath, Publish, and Visio.
