OK, so I posted yesterday about a bug in Excel 2008, and now I just hit another one in Word (yes, I’m not counting the one that does the same sort of random document windows rearranging when you use multiple screens, it plagues Word as well as Excel, which, in a way, is sort of reassuring since it seems to imply that there is at least some common code between the various Office apps).As soon as I hit the save button in Word 2008, Word, closely followed by syslogd go crazy and eat 95% of one of my core2duo’s firece CPUs.It seems that the Spotlight plugin installed by Office 2008 and in charge of indexing Word documents is seriously buggy and a real ressource hog.Now I know why sometimes my MacBook Pro’s fans would start whirring like crazy for no apparent reason.
