MS Office 2003
My wife uses Office 2003 in our home office and is she's complaining that some Excel files have suddenly become really slow to open. (For slow, read 50 seconds+) The slow file is a simple spread sheet of 600 bytes. Her computer has a 1.3 Gb Celeron running XP Home with 512 Mb RAM and a 20 Gb HD with 60% free. This problem appeared once before around 4 - 5 months back and I think I might have accidentally fixed it by simply saving a copy to the back-up drive and saving it as an Office 97 worksheet, then when re-opening it in 2003 it was back to normal. This time the slow file won't respond to anything.
I can't seem to see any answers in the MS help system so I am generously throwing up the problem to the PPruNe gurus.
Anyone got any ideas? Sure would appreciate some.
