If you open up a new worksheet, type a word in there, then change the color of the font, is it fast? If you save the new worksheet, close it, open it again and make another color change, is it fast?

I have been using existing worksheets to test and everytime i open it then reopen it the pattern is slow then fast then slow then fast alternating each time as i mentioned. &nbsp;I will try doing this with a new worksheet as you suggested.

Hi,<br />
been getting strange things with excel lately. &nbsp;If i edit a spreadsheet and for instance change the font color of &nbsp;a word, it takes time for it to load the change but once it makes the change i can change the color many times and it is fast. &nbsp;However when i close excel down then open again and make the same color change, this time it is fast. &nbsp;Must have done it 20 times and i think 19 out of 20 it had same pattern of slow then fast then slow then fast again each time i close then reopen excel. &nbsp;i initially had this problem accessing the excel file which is on our file server and thought it was problem with network but then i copied the file locally and still does the same thing on local pc. &nbsp;Strange, any ideas? &nbsp;thanks.

excel changes are slow
