That's strange. I don't find it slow at all. We are professional publishers so publishing tools are the core of our every day work. The problem with Word is that if the document is large (say 800 - 1000 pages) word just chokes and is unworkable. Anything over 500 pages is impossible to edit. None of the editors have been complaining about large documents since we switched to OpenOffice. I, personally, implement SharePoint and Office Interop utilities (Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.dll in this case) to automate parts of the publishing process. When I implement Word programmatically the process takes an inordinate amount of time to complete, especially applying styles to a document. Because some of our customers mandate that documents under review are delivered to their editors in Word I will be stuck with the white elephant for the foreseeable future.
