I've got a spreadsheet that opens up, refreshes the data, calculates some
statistics, updates some graphs, and the prints out a report. It all
happens so fast my operators are unsure if it actually does anything (other
than waiting for the printout). Is there a way to build in delays that
wouldn't require operator interaction to show them the status of the
process.

I was thinking of a single cell that had different text in it depending on
the step (ie., updating data, formatting report, printing report, etc.) but
I want to build in a delay function so that the messages don't fly buy so
fast the operator cannot see them.

Thanks,
