No I dont. This is a corporate package so everyone gets the same and there
are currently no plans or support for upgrading to Office 2010.

On another post I was told I should be using at least 4Gb RAM with a good
video card as a way around that. Does anyone have an opinion on that, its not
much good for me on a laptop!

I have recently upgraded to Office 2007 and have many Excel 2003 files with
several charts on a single worksheet which take forever to open and
display
in Excel 2007, sometimes it just locks up and I need to restart Excel.

I also run Macros to update the data in hidden worksheets and Excel 2007
is
so slow to update both the data and the charts.

Any suggestions? I have SP2 loaded so I am assuming I have all the latest
Hot Fixes and I dont have Google Desktop on

I am experiencing similar problem. The Excel is frustratingly sloww on
editing data series. Each of my data series is about 1200 points long
and it is just a pain for the excel to open the dialog to let the data
series be formated, not to mention if I want to change color or
anything about it. I had intended to include about 18 lines in one
chart. It is not a way to go. Right now there is 9 of them and it
seems to be over every limit of the Excel.

:(.

I am bit surprised, I needed this time to work with Excel, for I need
to share my data with some colleges abroad, usually I am working with
another program (Sigmaplot) and I never realized it could take any
computer time to calculate such plots, not to mention, the calculating
program would have problem to just respond.

In the end right now Excel even fails to open the dialog, after five
attempts i did, the particular data series simply drops off the effort
to have the dialog be opened. The CPU time usage drops to zero like if
my command would fulfilled, but the dialog is nowhere (this is after
about 5 min of CPU laborious attempts).

Just frustrating program
