I am a novice with EXCEL 2007 so I don't use it for what it was probably
created for--calculations, computations, etc. Thus, I'm an infrequent user
and don't have any big projects that would normally slow down the functions.
However, it takes anywhere from 15-60 seconds for ANY command to register. I
have the Student Edition of MS Office and when I initially installed it
(about 1 year ago) it was speedy and easy to create simple text and tables.
In the last 6 months, the program does not run correctly and I often get a
(not responding) in the header bar whenever I type or choose a command.
Because of this, I usually revert to creating tables in WORD 2007 which seems
more tedious and time-consuming than using EXCEL. Is there anything I can do
to eliminate the slow response?

I have already tried:
-repair/remove
-uninstall/reinstall
-run diagnostics

Does anyone know if there is a solution to this problem?

Thanks,
a novice user
