Text appears slower than typing

Hello, not sure how to describe this so an initial search did not yield any answers. For a couple of days now whenever I type in a document the letters appear slowly, and not almost immediately as they usually do. There seems to be a time lag between my typing and when the words start forming on the screen. Has this happened to anyone else? Pages only; my Mail, Numbers, Keynote are not affected. Thanks in advance!

Hi Jerry, I added the page break and sure enough the text speeded up to normal right after it. Still don't know what causes the slow down adjacent to the table, as I showed invisibles and nothing came up but spaces and a couple of paragraph breaks. The text appeared in spurts both before and after the paragraph breaks anyway so those are not the culprit. Must be something to do with the table, but since it is an isolated thing I won't worry about it. Thanks again!

Thanks for your comments Yvan. The doc is only 141 words. I am using Pages 4.0.9. My OS version is 10.6.7, and I imagine it got updated from the web.

I repeat that system updates applied thru *_Software Update_* are incomplete since the update to 10.6.2.
So, if you *_updated from the web_* hurry up and apply one of the described combo updaters or you will continue to use an incomplete system.
