I second the question.  In my case (EndNote + under System 7.0.1) this
delay occurs at two other times.  First, when I open the Word 5.1 plug-in
module, there is often a delay before the window 'fills' with citations.

Second, when I open a citation to edit there is often a delay before the
edit window appears.  This delay can be quite long when the citation I am
editing is large (for instance when I try to edit a citation which
includes several reading notes or an abstract).  In order to get around
this problem I have stopped putting my reading notes and abstracts in my
EndNote citations. This is a little frustrating because part of the reason
I got EndNote was to completely organize my reading notes and abstracts as
well as to use the bibliographic functions.

Anyway, if folk have figured out ways around this problem, advice would be
greatly appreciated.
