Just a guess...

I just hit the escape key to interrupt long calculations in my workbook (no
server involved).

But you may want to toggle this setting:
Tools|options|calculation tab
turn on manual calculation

And if you do go to manual calculation, you may want to clear the "recalculate
before save" box.

But that's just a guess,

Good luck.

partially calculated spreadsheet?
