Problem with picture in header

[Wolfram Fuchs]

With OS 10.4.3 installed on a G4 1,33 GHz PowerBook I created an Excel
template with our companies logo integrated as png picture in the page
set-up header. After storing the template I duplicated the xlt-file twice,
renamed it to worksheet and workbook and stored these files inside the Excel
start folder. The idea is, to have the logo integrated in the header
whenever I create a new workbook or add a new sheet to an existing workbook.
It works when I open create a new workbook by starting the excel template or
using command-n. Excel crashes whenever I add a new worksheet to any
existing workbook, even if it was created with the templates.
Any idea?
Thanks from Munich

I forgot to mention, that deleting the logo from the worksheet template
prevents excel to crash adding a worksheet - however without logo. So
obviously the picture in the header is the source of the trouble.

Yup, it's an annoying bug - see one workaround in my previous reply.

Thank you so much. It works perfectly. The flickering is but tolerable.
Do you think I should inform Microsoft? Where would I do that?

Here is as good a place as any. The Microsoft Mac Business Unit (MacBU(
is monitoring these groups.
