| Just got my first Mac since buying my very first computer - an Osborne! Remember those? Well, here's the deal. I have a B4350 Mono Laser Printer made by OKI. Used it with a PC till December of 2006 when I disconnected it, set it on a shelf and forgot about it. I want to use it with the Imac and MS Word (Office Student Teacher) so I hooked it up. I retrieved the current driver from Oki's site and opened with Stuffit Expander. All good. I opened my doc, issued the command to print and noting happens. It did print a test page with one line of gobbledygoook text. Hmmm - uncool. So, I looked to see what the status of te job was. Mac says its in the cued-up and ready to go. So, I hit print again. Still no good. Now I Have two print jobs cued up, but now the details box says that they are "printing". Not true, of course. So, I conclude that since the printer sees the Mac (I can tell by its display) and the Mac sees the printer, that things should be working. Still, bad USB cables can do weird things, so I attach a new one. No good - still no printing. It occurs to me (a long shot I know) that maybe the Imac needed a restart as a result of the new driver. I restarted - no good, still no workee! I'm prone to violence against machines, so I decided to go away for a day or two and see if a solution presented itself to my mind. So far, nothing has ocurred to me. I also need to create a Cash-Flow spreadsheet in Excel, so I am double-secret worried that I'm about to have trouble with it as well if the previous posts are any indication of what I can expect. I'm a Texan (from a very rural area) posted to beautiful Northern CA. I love CA, but go nuts on computers and peripherals that resist my will. Can anyone offer advice that will help me avoid doing violence to valuable stuff I can't really afford to smash with a baseball bat?<br>
<br>
Muchas gracias!

I went back and forth with Microsort tech support regarding the keystroking issue with Excel in Leopard trying to solve the problem. Simply put, Excel does not accept keystrokes in Leopard, and is virtually unusable. Microsoft's position is that it is a Mac OS issue.<br>
<br>
My solution is I bought Apple iWork and use their Numbers application which works very well on Leopard, is very similar to Excel, and is much cheaper than Office Suite. You can also open its documents in Excel. >> Stay informed about: Glitches with Excel in Leopard |

This is the first problem I've have with my little leopard baby:<br>
<br>
Every time I try to run spell check in Excel 2004, Excel either quits unexpectedly or I get the spinning beach ball. I haven't been able to spell check my entire spreadsheet once. And if I try to do it little by little, saving every so often, Excel quits unexpectedly while I'm trying to save.<br>
<br>
I'm tearing my hair out, here. Can anyone offer advice? >> Stay informed about: Glitches with Excel in Leopard |

NumLock doesn't work in Excel with Leopard. The numeric keypad on my external Microsoft keyboard doesn't work in Excel, nor does the numeric pad on my MacBook (that F5 should activate).<br>
<br>
NumLock & the number pads work like they always have on other apps, including Word 2004, AppleWorks 6, and Mail. Strangely, the number pads work in Excel also, but only to let me add numbers to a password dialog to open a worksheet. NumLock dies as soon as that dialog goes away.<br>
<br>
(I'm also encountering the periodic keyboard freezes in Excel -only- that others have reported.)<br>
<br>
Weird. Are others having problems with NumLock and the numbers keypad? Does Excel 2008 fix this?<br>
<br>
MacBook (2GHz Core Duo), MacOS 10.5.1 w. keyboard firmware update, Excel 2004 (current updates), Intellitype Pro 6.2 (for the external keyboard).<br>

Does this happen with all workbooks, or only one?
Do you have a custom dictionary set?
Do you have mixed languages in your workbook? >> Stay informed about: Glitches with Excel in Leopard |

I am not sure if this is related, but I have Excel 2004 for mac on a new imac intel. The shortcut I use a ton, to switch between open windows doesn't work. I even confirmed in the help that it is still part of excel 2004. the shortcut is ⌘-tilde (~). However, it doesn't work. Instead it shows the formulas for all of the cells.<br>
<br>
Any suggestions? Thanks. >> Stay informed about: Glitches with Excel in Leopard |

The default shortcuts are
CMD-` Switch windows within an application
CTRL-` Toggle between displaying results & formulae
where ` is the accent grave on the same key as the tilde on US keyboards.
Did you reassign the shortcuts? >> Stay informed about: Glitches with Excel in Leopard |

Don't have a external Microsoft keyboard, but I have no problem with F6
(not F5) as NumLock on my MacBook Pro with XL04 or XL08. >> Stay informed about: Glitches with Excel in Leopard |

After reading MVP's reply, I remembered that old trouble maker, corrupted preferences. I trashed some Apple keyboard prefs and some Excel 10 prefs and the MS keyboard prefs. The number keys now work correctly. Of course I had to restore a lot of stuff.<br>
<br>
If I had done this scientifically, I'd know which one was the culprit, but it's nice that it works.<br>
<br>
However, I think the keyboard freeze is still there. It's happened once with the fresh prefs; it may just have been a disc operation.<br>

Reinstalling is nearly always a complete waste of time - applications
just don't corrupt very frequently.
OTOH, preferences do sometimes corrupt, as do files.
Does the crash happen only with this workbook? or does it happen with a
newly created one?
You can try, with Office apps closed, deleting these files:
~:Library:Preferences:com.microsoft.office.plist
and
~:Library:Preferences:com.microsoft.Excel.plist >> Stay informed about: Glitches with Excel in Leopard |

Bob, please don't be so inclusive. ALL of us do not think Excel 2008 is something that one should buy right now. The program is in beta mode. It so happens you have to pay for their research. Another Microsoft slam at Mac.<br>

Hi,
We're having a problem where Excel 2008 suddenly quits. We're running Leopard 10.5.2 on a 2.16Ghz iMac with 2 Gigs of Ram. Is there a way to export and import the data into a new file to see if that helps? Thanks : ) >> Stay informed about: Glitches with Excel in Leopard |
