Encountered beach balls when executing simple commands on MS Excel 2011

Dear all,

I'm pretty frustrated now. All i do is to add/remove columns on a spreadsheet using Excel 2011 and I see beach balls every time. Please let me know if you encountered the same problems.

I'm using Ultimate 13" Air and only running iCal and Excel concurrently. Activity monitor shows excel using 0.2% of CPU. This puzzles me alot.

Seems like a problem with Excel 2011 and not with the Air.

hi, I can't explain what happened. When I started using Air with 24" monitor .. Excel 2011 looks alright. No beach balls when I try to add or delete columns.

Looks like I need to continue monitoring this. This is quite unsettling for me.
