How is the speed of copy&pasting a few cells in the same workbook? Slow?

If its fast, then try pasting those cells into another office app like
Word...Slow?
If its still slow, then I would suspect a virus protection program is
running which you can verify by opening a file...now if only the copy & paste
is slow, there has to be another file that is clogging the system. In that
case you would have to start your computer in safe mode and see if the
problem still exists.

If copying in the same workbook is slow, then you could have a memory
issue...just because it says 2.2G does not mean neccessarily it can read or
write on 2.2G

But it is not the recalucation feature for a few cells....

Help! What might happen if Excel spends a lot of time pasting?

Hi all,

I just don't understand this.

I don't know ever since when, my Excel is so slow, esp. when I copy
and paste.

When I copy from one book, and paste to another book,

the very instant when I enter "ctrl+v" to paste...

the whole Excel freezes and my CPU usage went to 100%...

The whole program is not responding any more.

Can anybody help?

Thanks!
