Manual Calculation Mode

David,

One circumstance in which manual calculation is useful is when
entering data in large workbooks that require long calculation
times. In manual mode, one can enter data without having to wait
for a recalculation after each entry.

Chip;
Thought I'd take this opportunity to re-ask a question I posted a few
days ago that's related to calculation.
The answers I received were not out and out "no - you can't do that" so
figured I try again.
Question;
Is there anyway that you can stop a calculation in process? i.e.
similar to a CTRL-BREAK that halts a macro?
One answer I received was to hit escape, which doesn't always work
according to the responder, which never works for me.
I run into the problem if, for ex, I've entered a large lookup and
didn't "Paste-Special". Of course when I go to do something else XL
re-calcs the spreadsheet and I'm forced to sit there waiting for it to
perform a completely redundant process (made even more
aggravating.because it's my fault!)
I notice that if I click a cell that XL appears to suspend the calc but
I don't know if this is "window of opportunity" for me to do something,
and if so, what?

Again, just thought I'd ask as it seems related to the op's query.

Thanks.
