How Can I fix the Slow Copy and Paste in Excel Mac 2011

When I Copy or Paste anything in excel, it takes a second or two to complete the action. same thing when I try to do a find. it takes a while for the find box to come up. sometimes I even get the spinning beach ball for a second.

this happens whether copying from another application and pasting into excel or copying and pasting within the same sheet in excel. it doesn't matter whether it is one cell or a whole sheet.

it is really frustrating. it's hard to tell if it is a mac problem or an excel problem but I can say with certainty that I don't have this problem with other apps. it doesn't happen in NeoOffice.

I have trashed preferences and closed apps and login items and fixed permissions and removed fonts. nothing has worked.

there are other quirky things aand slow thinngs in excel mac 2011 but this is a big problem for me and I have seen that it is a problem for others too by googling the problem. but there seem too be no solutions. what can I do to get someone to ttry and replicate the problem or what sort of logs or whatever caan I look at to see what is going on?

thanks

Explanation / Answer

This problem waste me 3 days and make me crazy. So finally I found root cause for me why copy some rows or some cells very slow that concern with "Styles". In my excel file have a lot styles define by custom but They're not used. I use windows 7 anda run program "remove styles" . After finish running, I open file excel and check styles format remain about 10. Restart and log in Mac OS, Open file excel and copy some rows and cells very fast.

Link to download program remove styles:

Hope Microsoft will fix ""copy slow:"" with file excel contaian a lot styyles define by customer on next Update SP.
