    Why is excel freezing when trying to save?

    Hello Everyone,

    This is my first post

    When I save a certain excel document it starts to freeze up.

    Its does end up saving, but it takes a long time.

    I t just started doing this

    I have some important info and I don't want to lose it

    Does anyone know how I can fix this?

    Thanks in Advance

    Are you running on Manual Calculation ?

    If so do you notice a difference by unchecking "Calculate Before Save" ?

    How big is the File ?

    The file is 8.03MB

    So it is not that big

    Where do I find the Manual Calulation

    When I click 'Save As' There are severa ways to save it

    Which one do I choose?

    see: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/libr...ulationOptions

    Rest assured I'm not saying Manual Calculation is the fix - rather I'm trying to determine why the file takes a long time to save.

    8MB is not small (not huge)

    When I click 'Save As' There are severa ways to save it
    If you don't need to run in earlier versions then save as appropriate (ie .xlsx / .xlsm)

    For more info. on 2007 file types see: http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/he...069351033.aspx

    Thanks for the info

    I see the webpage about Manual Calculations

    The page explains what Manual Calculations is

    I'm trying to figure out how to get to Manual Calculations in Excel

    which tab do I click on?
