No default setting, but really, how much effort is it to include it where
needed?

You might also consider turning automatic calculation off, and reset at the

Am trying to delete rows out of a spreadsheet (Excel 2003) and it is
taking
for ever to remove. There must be a default setting were I can set
Application.ScreenUpdating = False

Does anyone know how to set Excel update to speed up the removal of rows.
Any help greatly appreciated,
David.
