Excel 2007 not responding

[Terri]

My 2007 version of Excel is unusable. Whenver I make an update, even
something as simple as changing the font size in a cell or cells it takes
forever. As soon as I hit the enter key I get the hourglass, within seconds
a totally white screen with "Excel Not Responding" at the top pops up. If I
look in task manager it shows two occurrences of the task as follows:

TASK Status
Myspreadsheet(Not Responding) Not Responding
Myspreadsheet Not Responding

The task will eventually finish if I wait long enough.

If I download this same spreadsheet to a maching with Excel 2003 the
response time is excellent, I want only seconds or a fraction thereof.

This happens with every action I take.

Yesterday I uninstalled my Office Professional 2007 and reinstalled, I
donwloaded all maintenance and restarted my machine. I then opened my
spreadsheet, clicked on a group of cells, and attempted to change the font
size. I was literally hung up for 20 minutes. Same problem...

Any ideas?

Any ideas?

Unfortunately, your spate of bad luck continues...

Undoubtedly due to MS's incompetence with web portals, you've posted to
the Excel for Macintosh newsgroup (hence the '.mac.' in the newsgroup
name).

Try one of these:

microsoft.public.excel.setup

microsoft.public.excel.misc
