Summary:

If a file seems to be causing a system hang, the file has probably been corrupted. File corruption results in the system freezing every time you select a specific cell to edit.

Sometimes corruption of this type can be stripped out of the file through the following process:


 * 1) Set Transfer Options to Symbolic (SYLK).
 * 2) Save the file.
 * 3) Load the file, making sure Transfer Options is set to Symbolic (SYLK).
 * 4) Save the file with Transfer Options set to Normal.
