Latency between typing a work and seeing it on screen. Office for Mac 2011 (all upgrades installed) 14.3.6

I would  greatly appreciate finding a permanent solution to the on-going issue of the time (latency - spinning color wheel) between the key stroke and seeing the word on screen. This constant problem is making  'Outlook' unusable.  I have no other issues with any other Office program - only Outlook. I was advised to change the user profile to a new one, this was effective for several months but has slowly slipped back to now seeing the spinning wheel between whole sentences between typing and seeing the words on screen. I have changed my habits and switched to Thunderbird, not happy about being forced to move my email program because of this problem. Please assist. Thank you.

Writing email in Outlook problems

I have consistently had this same problem since installing Office for Mac 2011.
I should have use the help line when it was free.

Problem: When writing an email in Outlook, I constantly see the spinning wheel in between each key stroke. This spinning wheel caused a latency of from 3 to 10 seconds between each key stroke. It's driving me crazy and I have all but abandoned Outlook for other email programs. I visited the Outlook 2011 Forum but with no solution. I have checked "rules" I have deleted all the caches using "Cocktail". It looks like Outlook is looking for something between or checking for something with each key stroke. 

Sluggish Outlook Performance on Mountain Lion

I get a spinning wheel every time I try to move from one item to another in my inbox.  It may last up to 60-90 seconds.  I'm also noticing sluggish behavior on other Office programs.  Excel takes 60 seconds or more to load.  I apparently have the most recent software update.  Any suggestions? 

Microsoft Outlook for MAC 2011 Spinning Wheel in email

Hi All,

All of a sudden I have been experiencing a prolonged spinning wheel when working in Microsoft Outlook 2011 for MAC. It seems to only occur when working in Outlook and takes about 45 seconds until the wheel stops.

I have checked for recent updates, cleaned my desktop, archived emails, cleared my browser cache, and went to the Apple Genius bar to see if there is a hardware problem. Nothing has resolved this problem.

Here is some information about my computer:

I am working with a MacBook, OSX v 10.5.8.

Please let me know if you need more relevant information.

Thanks in advance.
