Mac Forum / Applications / Excel / January 2006Excel 2004 for Mac is to slow and woks bad
I am and old user of Mac and work very much with excel. The excel version that I used in my previous ibook worked much better than this, and so does the excel in PC. I looked in get info to increase the memory asigned to excel, like usually, but it seems that Tiger does it automatically. ¿It can be changed? I can´t believe that I have to work like this, maybe somebody can tell me what can I do to solve this. Hi Fergus, There are two version of Excel for Tiger: Excel version X and Excel 2004. Which one are you using? I don't know what you mean by "worked better." Better in what ways? MacOS now manages memory for ALL applications, not just Excel. This is not a feature that can be altered in MacOS. You never have to set memory allocations in GET INFO. MacOS does it for you automatically, all the time, on the fly. Are you getting a message that says you don't have enough memory installed? -Jim  SignatureJim Gordon Mac MVP MVP FAQ <http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=fh;EN-US;mvpfaqs> > I am and old user of Mac and work very much with excel.

I can´t believe it can be true, there may be something to do! The excel makes many mistakes, like: in some cases asignes to much free rows and columns for that I am using (like 16000 rows and I use 700), often I select "copy" and "thinks" until continue, in one specific sheet when I press "show all" it stops working and I have to force quit excel, and several others, sometimes have problems to insert rows or to paste in many rows at once when I have copy one row...Works really bad!

Well, my experience with Excel 2004 is just the opposite of yours. @004 works better than most prior versions. I think you may have some kind of configuration issue. Your description sounds like you may have a corrupt work book. Try pressing control-End to go to the last cell. If this cell is much further below and to the right from where you think it ought to be then delete the extra rows and columns. Then SAVE and CLOSE the workbook. When you reopen it it should perform much better.

You have to select them delete them and then SAVE AND CLOSE the workbook. It should be OK when you reopen it. SignatureBob Greenblatt [MVP], Macintosh bobgreenblattATmsnDOTcom |
