We are aware of this, and think it may be an Apple bug. Please see this
thread: http://www.officeformac.com/ProductForums/Excel/822.

Thanks,

Pat

Pat:

I am having the same Excel 08 crash when I maximize certain
spreadsheets.

1. I have Parallels installed
2. I do not have Parallels running
3. I can replicate the problem consistently with one of these
spreadsheet files - These files have either been created on a Windows
machine or modified on a Windows machine
4. I have not been able to make this happen with a blank worksheet
file
5. I have a MacBook Pro 15 inch with a GeForce 8600m GT
6. I just installed the Leopard graphic update and still have the
problem

I am also having another problem, which may or may not be related. I
have a fairly good sized workbook template that I have been using for
years. In Excel 2008, I consistently get a circular reference error.
All of the number calculate correctly and the same document opens with
no circular reference errors in Excel 2004 and in Vista with Excel
2007. This worksheet also crashes when maximized, but not every time.

Thanks for your efforts,

Bob Ellis
