copy and paste very slow

When using the copy and paste function it is extremely slow to paste the
result. Also the file size seems to be increasing to a much larger size for
no reason.
Any feedback would be appreciated.

Sounds like a corrupt worksheet/file. This has happened to me before.
I seemed to only get around it by copying and pasting into a new
workbook. In particular, I had to copy and paste by highlighting. It
didn't work when I went to Edit/Copy Sheet.

The first thing to try is to close excel and then clear you Temp directory/
