What are the specs on your computer (CPU type/speed and RAM installed)? You
can get this info by right-clicking on My Computer and choosing Properties
and examining the [General] tab. Also, which operating system are you using.
I really don't have an answer for you, but this info may provide others some
help in advising you. On my Vista system with Office 2007 with an Intel
CordDuo 6600 CPU with 2GB RAM I see it taking maybe 1/4 second to open the
format window when I choose [Format] | Format Cells and after formatting a
single cell it closes very quickly. Nothing like the 12-15 second delay
you're experiencing.

In Excel 2007 when I right click on a cell, go to and choose Formats it takes
about 12-15 seconds to open and then once I complete my task it takes at
least 12-15 seconds to close the window once I press "X". Novice here...
