editting text delays

[wavarch]

I am having a problem with large blocks of text. When I go in to edit or add additional text the display goes to slow motion. I'll be typing away and the on the screen every letter is taking a second or so to show up. Very frustrating. This is happening on most of the computers (various Mac's all running OS X)

Have you tried to run disk utilities?

You should run the verify and repair disk permissions to see if the problem is resolved.

Please do not run other programs while that is running.
