Here's how to Word is Slow to open and run and Lagging when typing.

Here are some possible reasons why Word is slow to open and run and lagging when typing:

* Your computer is not powerful enough to run Word.
* You have too many add-ins enabled.
* You have a corrupt or damaged Word template.
* Your Word installation is not up to date.
* There is a problem with your computer's hardware or software.

Here are some things you can try to fix the problem:

* **Check your computer's specifications.** Make sure that your computer meets the minimum system requirements for Word. You can find the system requirements on the Microsoft website.
* **Disable add-ins.** Add-ins can sometimes slow down Word. To disable add-ins, open Word and go to File - Options - Add-ins. In the Manage box, select COM Add-ins and click Go. Uncheck the boxes next to any add-ins that you do not need.
* **Repair or rebuild the Normal template.** The Normal template is a hidden file that contains Word's default settings. If the Normal template is corrupt or damaged, it can cause problems with Word. To repair or rebuild the Normal template, open Word and go to File - Options - Advanced. In the Display section, click the Reset button next to Normal template.
* **Update Word.** Make sure that you have the latest version of Word installed. You can check for updates by going to File - Account - Office Updates.
* **Run a system scan.** If you are still having problems, run a system scan for malware or other problems. You can use a free antivirus program, such as Malwarebytes, to do this.

If you have tried all of the above and you are still having problems, you can contact Microsoft support for help.
