A coworker saved one of the linked files within the file I was having trouble
with. Even though the file got larger, the save time dropped significantly
from 10-15 min to about 30 seconds. Thank you for your help! If you know
why this happens I'd be interested in hearing about it but otherwise
hopefully this doesn't happen to anyone else.

It did save but I had to leave my computer it was taking so long. In your
experience, even if a file is relatively small (2MB), could the fact that the
files it is pulling from are large in size with lots of formulas interfere
with the save time? Sometimes the file will save, but I need to walk away,
and other times it times out. I may try to rebuild from scratch although I
tried that already. Ideas?

What happens if you save it somewhere else.

I don't receive an error message - the file just times out and a dialogue box
pops up with "Document not saved". I feel it may have something to do with
the fact that I am pulling information by formula from several large files
but I'm not sure.
