spinning beach ball slowdown

I have a client using Excel X. When she goes to the Insert Menu -> Name
-> Create, the beachball spins for about 20 seconds. She also has her
worksheets linked, and it appears that the ball is spinning while the
linked data is loading. Could the slowdown be due to the linking of
worksheets are could it be something else? She says she never had any
slowdown in os 9. Thanks for any advice!

Hi Rhonda,

Are the linked documents on a hard drive that has to spin up? You'll
get the beachball while MacOS waits for a drive to become available.
