Hey Natalie, This could be due to your system’s resources being stretched. Here’s what I suggest: 1. Check if any background applications are taking up too much memory—open Task Manager with Ctrl + Shift + Esc and see if there’s anything unusual. 2. Make sure your Office installation is up to date. Sometimes an update can fix these performance lags. 3. Lastly, if you’re running antivirus software, check if it’s scanning every document you open.You may need to adjust its settings. Hope this helps!
