Tip to open Word documents quickly

One tip to open word documents quickly, i.e. reduced time between when you double click the Word document and when the document is presented, is to press Esc key.

This prevents Word from making a connection to the printer (if any), which results in opening the document right away.

Those working and connecting to office network from home via VPN might find this tip even more helpful while opening word documents, especially if the computer is not connected to the VPN/printer or if the VPN connection is slow AND if you don’t need to print the document being opened.

In fact, Word presents this tip on the document’s status bar but it goes unnoticed mostly.
