Outlook freezes when running statements as "separate"

Has anyone had an issue with the Sage 300 Financial Statement Designer freezing Outlook and Word when we produce a statement with the "Report As: Separate" selection.

Financial reports don't freeze Outlook until we choose to create a "separate" report inside the Statement Designer. When we do that it creates the extra Excel document with one tab for each separate segment.

The statement creation process works perfectly fine and is not broken, the issue is that it freezes other Microsoft applications like Word or Outlook until the statement is completed.
