word 2003 slow to open files

Hi all

We have 4 machines using Microsoft Word 2003 (Microsoft Office 2003).

Some not all files seem delay at opening by 10-30 seconds other will open
fine before 2 seconds. Word seems fine as when you open within word its
stilled delayed.

I have disabled anti virus / firewall software. No luck

We did change a computer name.

I thing I did notice was if I disable the local area connection, they all
open quick, enable it and slow again.

See http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=830561 "Documents that have attached
templates take a long time to open in Word 2002 and in Word 2003".
