    Sorry, new to this community so don't know how to flag as resolved, but in case anyone else has the same issue, I resolved this by completely uninstalling Office and reinstalling.  The original problem was that Excel hung every time I would try to:

    Thanks for that. I tried it and it didn't work but I am willing to try anything! I restarted Excel after applying the change as well.
