Have any other users of Excel 2003 found it really slow
when entering data into cells. I know 2 others users who
have the same problem and we are being slowly driven mad
with frustration. Is there some option we can deselect
somewhere that will speed things up?
 
No comments have come in about this, so I don't know how many others have the
same problem I wrote about below a few days ago.
However I have found a way round it - to uninstall Excel 2003 and install
Excel XP instead. Now I can enter data in cells at my usual speed.
I'd still really like to know what causes the slowness in Excel 2003 though.
 
I don't use xl2003, but is there any chance that you have some kind of worksheet
event that's being called over and over and over when you make a simple change.

(just a guess--maybe xl2002 was quicker to give up on the recursive calls than
xl2003 is.)

If you open your workbook with macros disabled, you could test this.
