How are you accessing the document? From Word using the Open command or are you double-clicking the Word document icon in T: to open it? Or are you using an Intranet link?<br />

As for generic troubleshooting, I would suggest dropping the T: drive mapping and then re-adding it to see if performance is improved.

We have tried remapping the drive. We have the problem when directly double clicking on a file and from the file open command in word. We re-installed office.

Word documents say downloading instead of opening and they hang.

Microsoft Word is a commercial document editing program that is part of the Microsoft Office suite. It features numerous text-editing tools for creating richly formatted documents, along with tools for the use of macros in Word documents. Word's native file formats are denoted either by a .doc or .docx file extension. Plugins permitting the Windows versions of Word to read and write formats it does not natively support, such as the OpenDocument format (ODF) are available. Word can import and display images in common bitmap formats such as JPG and GIF. It can also be used to create and display simple line-art.
