Hi,
My girlfriend uses Word 2004 for Mac on her Macbook a lot, but it often seems dead slow. She also says that the computer itself is generally much slower than it was previously - for example when opening Safari pages. I think she may have run the Maintenance application + updated to the latest 11.3.6 version of Word for Mac. Anyone have any ideas?

How much RAM does she have? Word is a PowerPC application, so it's got to run in the Rosetta emulator on an Intel-based Mac, and Rosetta is RAM-hungry.

Ticking sound coming from a .pkg package? Don't let the .bom go off! Inspect it first with Pacifist. Macworld - five mice!
