Hi
I have problem with copy and paste in EXCEL. Copy takes 5 - 10 seconds (it doesn't matter what I'm copying - a cell, a range of cells, text from within a formula - they all take this time). Paste takes about 3 seconds. It doesn't matter whether I use an EXCEL 2007 spreadsheet or one saved using EXCEL 2003 compatibility mode.
I use VISTA. My PC has 2 Gb of memory and uses an AMD Athlon 64 x2 dual core processor running at 3.0 GHz.
The same seems to be true in WORD 2007. However copy and paste work fine in other products (Firefox, Internet Explorer, Windows Explorer).
This is causing me massive problems at the moment because I have a spreadsheet with a macros that uses a lot of copy / paste to convert formulae to values before sharing it with another user. I currently have to wait several hours for it to process - previously it took seconds.
It doesn't seem to be a resource problem because I can work fine with other software whilst EXCEL is copying and pasting.
Any help gratefully appreciated.
