Hsarci Posted September 20, 2006 Share Posted September 20, 2006 I'm having weird problems with word processing apps. The two I have tried are Office 2004 Mac and AbiWord for mac. Both have been EXTREMELY SLOW whenever I type, but when I'm not typing things run smooth. It's so wierd. I have a radeon 7500 mobility with callisto .003 fixed drivers with a QE patch. Pentium 4m 2.0ghz SSE2. JaS 10.4.7 Repack. Ne one have a clue whats wrong???

Playerzoors Posted September 20, 2006 Share Posted September 20, 2006 Those are powerpc apps, of course they will be somewhat slow Try, Pages, its a universial app. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/28203-word-processing-apps-problems/#findComment-192855 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hsarci Posted September 21, 2006 Author Share Posted September 21, 2006 I just tried pages...it is slow too... I heard that maybe if i ran the app in rosetta it would work better, i looked in the "get info" thing for the program but the box to check of rosetta wasnt there. and it wasnt there for abi word or ms office either....

dark.developer Posted September 21, 2006 Share Posted September 21, 2006 Hi, Hsarci, Actually I had the problem with the WordProcessing Apps too, AbiWord, OpenOffice as well as Microsloth's Office 2004 are damn slow. Try "NeoOffice" Package instead or "ThinkFree Office" if u could just buy it. The fastest is ofcourse the "ThinkFree Office". Bye, "Live and Let Live!!!"
