Change the Cache Size for Network Word Documents (All Windows)
When Microsoft Word 2002 reads a file from a network location (UNC), it reads the file into the default 64 kilobyte (KB) page buffer memory. With larger documents this may not be sufficient and cause a delay as changes are made to the document. This tweak allows you to increase the buffer size so that the whole document can be read at once.
