SYMPTOMS
In Visio 2000, when you insert a drawing into Microsoft Word and edit it several times, your computer's performance slows down.



CAUSE
When you insert a drawing into Microsoft Word and edit it several times, &quot;memory leaks&quot; occur. These memory leaks reduce the available resources, and slow down performance.



RESOLUTION
To resolve this problem, obtain Microsoft Visio 2000 Service Release 1 (SR-1).

To obtain SR-1, click the article number below to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

263721 Visio: How to Obtain Microsoft Visio 2000 Service Release 1 (SR-1)

To temporarily work around this problem, periodically save your work, quit, and then restart Word.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article. This problem was corrected in Microsoft Visio 2000 SR-1.



Steps to Reproduce the Behavior

 * 1) Start Microsoft Word.
 * 2) On the Insert menu, click Object.
 * 3) In the Object box, click Microsoft Visio Drawing to insert a Visio 2000 drawing object.
 * 4) Drag some shapes onto the drawing.
 * 5) Deactivate the page by clicking off of the Visio drawing.
 * 6) Right-click the drawing, point to Visio Object, and then click Open.
 * 7) Repeat steps 4 and 5.
 * 8) Right-click an empty area on the taskbar, and then click Task Manager to open Windows Task Manager.
 * 9) Click the Performance tab.

Note that the CPU and memory usage are very high.
