I just got a new Dell with Office 2007. Computer is a Vostro 430 with 4GB of
RAM and a 2.8GHz processor. Cut, copy and paste operate extremely slow in
Excel 2007, even if I only have one cell to cut, copy, or paste, with nothing
else in the spreadsheet. The action is always completed, but may take a
minute or more. It was this way when I first tried it, right out of the box.
I suspect there is something set wrong. Notably, I'm having similar
problems in Word 2007. Everything else on the computer that I've tried
works great, including Publishing, other facets of Excel and Word and
numerous other programs. Anyone have any ideas?



If you attempting to perform a cut and paste of entire rows or columns
in the new versions (2k7 and 2k10) the new column and row limits makes it
a pretty large data set.

Perhaps there needs to be a "copy only if populated" command.

The fix is to only mark the data intended to be copied, not entire rows
and column selections.
