I have recently changed from a G5 to a Mac Pro (Dual Core Intel Xeon).
Clean installation of the operating system, fresh installation of
Microsoft office, all updates installed using the automatic update
features of the system and of microsoft office. Most things run fine.
However, Excel has become quite unstable and crashes rather frequently.
Most of these crashes I cannot link to any particular action or event.
However, one sequence of events reproducibly leads to a crash: If I try
to edit a label in a user form, excel crashes.
Suspecting a problem with the installation or with the Excel workbooks
I works on, I have done all I could think of:
Office removed, all office-related preferences removed, Office
reinstalled from CD and updated to the most current state (Microsoft
Excel 2004 for Mac Version 11.3 (060914)).
Test:
I generate a new workbook (from scratch, no custom template)
I open the visual basic editor, and select "User Form" from the
"Insert" menu to generate an empty user form.
I select the label tool ("A") from the tool box and define a label area
on the userform
As soon as I try to enter any text for this label, either within the
field on the Userform or in the appropriate field in the "Properties"
window, Excel crashes.
On my G4 Powerbook, I experience no problems with the same actions.
Does anyone have an idea what could be wrong?
