You probably have either "Load Program Into Memory : Always" or "Load
File Into Memory : Always" checked.  This basically says that, whenever
you open either the Word program, or a Word document, it tries to squeeze
as much of the program/document in memory it can.  Seeing as how Word is
a 672K program, this lengthy delay is understandable.  The check marks
for thse options are in the "Preferences..." in the Edit menu.
