I am running 2007 on a 5 year old PC and do not experience what you describe.

Is your PC really old?
Do you have much RAM? (this thing has 1G of RAM, running WinXP)
Do you have any add-ins loaded that might not be completely compatible with
2007?

Dear Experts,

I have a 'new" excel 2007 & need to run in compatability mode because most
of my associates have 2003.

Almost all functions - from cut and paste or copy and paste are delayed
while the little blue circle thing spins. Usually form 4 to 10 seconds. it
really adds up. What can I do to correct ?
Thanks
