Doing very basic things in Excel 2013 Compatibility Mode like, as follows:
1. loading the file (it is large) 8007KB (origin: Excel 97) ...
2. manually entering a numeric cell value...
3. inserting a new column into a large worksheet...
4. cutting/pasting elsewhere a single cell value...
5. cutting/pasting elsewhere a single column of values...
What actually happens each time I try any of these activities , as follows:
1. delay of 7 minutes loading, with me waiting to begin work ...
2. delay - attempting to re-position the cursor needs 2 or 3 left mouse key depressions for each entry... the display top line clears...turns sky blue... the save icon disappears... msg "[Compatibility Mode] - Excel (not responding)" appears... Only when save icon re-appears on display top line is it safe to proceed... How TEDIOUS!...
3. same as above...
4. same as above...
5. same as above...
