Default Cut, copy & paste functions in Excel 2007 are extremely slow.

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?

I am having the same problem here. I've looked all over the internet for
answers and I can't find any help. I have uninstalled and reinstalled 3 times
now and i keep getting the same problem no matter what I do.

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.

Actually, no, we are not copying entire rows of data. I am copying one
single cell, in a very very small spreadsheet is is only about 8 cells x 5
cells. No, I have not applied any conditional formatting, or any formatting
for that matter. It's the world's simplest spreadsheet. I am a BSEE with 20
years experience using Excel.

This is obviously a serious failure on Microsoft's part, and I would
appreciate it if MS employees would stop posting stupid answers in forums all
over the internet. I have Windows 7 64-bit and Excel 2007. No, I have
uninstalled all virus scanner/desktop search bars/browser search bars. This
problem has persisted since a fresh, clean install of the o/s and excel 2007.


So, unless you are posting a 'kb' fix link or a real solution, don't both
posting at all please.
