Hi

Try changing your calculation mode before doing the copying
XL2003 ToolsOptionsCalculationManual
XL2007 Formulas tabCalculationCalculation OptionsManual

Switch back to automatic when you have finished your copying.

This is making me crazy.

I want to finish this workbook in my lifetime.

I need to copy the formula cells to fill 72 columns.

I have to copy about 1 percent of the formulas and paste to 4 columns each
time to avoid a damaged sheet.

I then save, and then close, and then open. Often the sheet is corrupted.
Then I open the previous worksheet and try again.

I have tried 2003 and 2007. 2007 takes 2-3 times to load, copy, save, and
scrolling is torture.

Thinking the sheet had a fundamental error I created a new workbook and
copied the non-formula parts and used formulas saved in notepad files.


I have used 2 computers: 1st uses vista, 2 gig cpu, 2 gig ram, The 2nd is
a dual-core 2.4 gig cpu with 2 gig ram, xp sp3. Very few programs loaded,
no AV, etc.,....

This is very annoying.


This page is from a larger workbook that has 6 other pages with 72 columns
of formulas. The others are not quite as complicated. But the workbook
loads quicker than this one page workbook.
