Just completed my first week using 2007 and am puzzled by the very slow copy process. I routinely use shapes with text to identify areas of interest on a picture (png). To copy, I ctrl-click and drag to new location. That process was instantaneous on earlier version of Excel. Now at approx 7 sec per copy time 100 per picture, that’s an extra 12 minutes per picture. It seemed like a re-calc lag so I switched formula recalculation to manual (had no effect).
My question is, what’s causing the delay?
