Some Excel formatting functions taking a long time to work

Excel 2000 SP3
When I first use some formatting functions for the first time in a
session, such as bold, increasing font size etc, it takes up to 30
seconds to wok. Meantime Excel is locked up until it completes that
formatting call.
Has anyone experienced this? How to fix (other than a complete re-
install) ?
Any advice appreciated.

Hi,

I haven't used 2000 in a while but if my memory serves me your problem is
the programs normal behavior. I suspect microsoft code these areas as
separate items that need to be attached when they are first used in a
session. This no longer is the case in later versions.

If you stay with 2000 I suspect you only option is to 1. run a macro when
Excel opens that executes the commands once. 2. To upgrade your hardware to
a faster hard drive and cpu, and maybe more memory...
