I have a mac computer lab running leopard on macbooks. When students log into word 2004 or 2008 it seems to take at least 5 minutes to get to the application. I was wondering if others have the same issue. I'm also wondering f there is another word processing program that works better on the macbooks. Thanks for your help.

Neal The first time it launches M$ wants to add fonts, and probably tries to phone home for updates... if you have a firewall that may be why the hang...
