Sorry, what I meant was if you still can access to the older version, you could check if it's the fault in the new one only?

Yes i see what you mean, i just installed an SSD drive on here for the OS so i need to re install Virtual XP then i can load office 2002 and see if it is the same.

That's one thing i love about Win 7 is the ability to run a virtual XP OS as it is built in you don't even need XP license.

True but I found it to be much slower than using Virtual PC and installing XP there.
VP is really indispensable for me.
I still run DOS and some older Windows OS's ( I have people relying on programmes running on older platforms, that will not run successfully even in simulation in Vista or Win7)

Still this behavior of Excel you are having problems with is weird to say the least.

I may look for another source of free form, i understand the ACT tab have a nice one, will have to check it out.
