Hi :) Also wondering what the memory setting are like Tools - Options - Memory
On most machines you can bump al those values right up. the defaults are for very low spec machines. How large/heavy is the spreadsheet? If it's over 10Mb then that might explain it. Does it have lots of embedded images in it? Could those be just linked to rather than embedded? Have you tried using Gnumeric for that spreadsheet? Gnumeric is a dedicated spreadsheeting program so it's far more sophisticated than Calc/Excel for some things. Quite a few people have it alongside LibreOffice or other office suite for use when they need something really serious.
