When in microsoft word and changing windows open on the screen the process is delayed by the spinning ball. Why? How can I fix it.
Mac Power Book
2.5 GHz Intel Core i5
4GB 1600 MHz DDR3
OS 10.8.4
Older mac book was imaged and software transfered by the tech people here.
MacBook Pro, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.4)
Quit the application.
You need to look in your user Library/Preferences for the .plist. Either hold down the option key while using the Finder “Go To Folder” command and select your user Library in your home folder or use the Finder “Go To Folder” command and enter ~/Library/Preferences/com.microsoft.Word.plist. Move the .plist to your desktop.
Open the application and test. If it works okay, delete the plist(s) from the desktop.
If the application is the same, return the .plist(s) to where you got them from, overwriting the newer ones.
If you prefer to make your user library permanently visible, use the Terminal command found below.
You might want to bookmark the command. I had to use it again after I installed 10.8.4. I have also been informed that if you drag the user library to Finder it will remain visible.
why does spinning ball delays changing windows with microsoft word?
