I've recently switched to Word 2007 and noticed that MetaTexis became really slow (advancing to next translation unit takes 4-5 seconds!), much slower than before, using Word 2003. I've tried it with all types of TMs and even with empty bases, and it's the same.
Has anyone experienced the same thing?
And, more importantly, does anyone have a solution?

Microsoft is to blame Feb 28, 2008

Why Microsoft had slowed down the VBA engine in Office 2007 I do not know. And when and if Microsoft will ever pro... See more

Wasn't there anything fixed in the meantime? Is the problem of slow Metatexis within Word 2007 still existant? Thanks for any hint! D.
