losing preferences

[Harvey Waxman]

I think this might have been addressed before but Excel Office X loses prefs,
namely the feedback with sound. While this isn't a big dedal I am concerned
that it might be the precursor for something bad.

I have trashed prefences and let them get rebuilt. It stays for a while and
then the same thing happens. This was true under OS 10.2.8 and now in Panther
as well.

Is this an Excel Issue or Mac issue and is there an answer?

Thanks

Feeback with sound is an Office-wide preference - setting or
clearing the preference in Word will also set or clear the
preference in Excel.

Is that perhaps what's happening?
