Hi,
I have a shared folder in the server where users save Word documents.
Some are doc and others are docx.
For some reason the "doc" open instantly but the "docx" take more then 30 seconds!
What are the probable causes for this delay?
Thanks

Hi GtPt,
Based on your description, did your .docx files contain any links or macros? First of all I suggest you do a test about your issue.
Please create 2 Word files with the same content but the different format (.doc and .docx), then please check if they spend the same time to open.
The reasons of taking so long time to open a Word file please refer to this article, maybe it will help you:
