Thanks for the insight.  Sorry it's taken so long to reply. 

After discussing with 'the powers that be', the decision was to recreate the
data and graphs in Calc.  Our goal is to get rid of MSO, so we need to move
forward.  Some users will still use MSO until we can get everyone moved to
Libre office.  Their concern was in opening 'older. legacy versions' of the
spreadsheet.  We have that covered for now.

After spending a couple of days working on the spreadsheet in Calc, we have
not encountered the 'freezing up' problem.  Must have been MSO that was
acting strange!
