Don't apologize. Been there. From what you say, I gather that you
purchased this Excel program, probably as a part of Office. Is that
correct? Has this problem been there from the start, or has it run properly
before and just now started doing this? You might consider removing Office
from your computer, then reinstalling Office. If the problem was there from
the start, you should take the package back to Office Max and get another
one. Sorry I can't be of more help. Otto
