Generally freezing occurs with limited resources.

We cannot see your computer or know what you're doing in Excel when you get
a freeze so have no idea why the freeze.

Any Excel sheet? Or a particular sheet in an especially large workbook?

It happens when I am working on a document that contains more than one
sheet. It happened when I was coping formulas from one column on one sheet
to another column in other sheet. It also happened when I did a "print
preview."

How big is the Excel file? If you are copying an entire column's
formulas from one sheet to the other, that could be the problem there
but it does not explain the freeze when you do print preview.

Excel version, amount of computer memory may help in diagnosing.
