Jack:

I have been dealing with a strange, seemingly related problem with a
G4/400 and Excel.

Excel seems to behave acceptably until I make Page Setup changes:
then, saves take 10+ seconds, scrolling more than 2 pages takes 10+
seconds and printing can take 20-30 seconds!

I don't use Excel too often and deal with it; I had assumed it was a
conflict with printing drivers (since it starts when I modify page
settings)--if you have any luck, please share the info!

Thanks

Michael
