For What it's Worth, I have been using Excel 2008 with OS 10.5.2 with NONE
of the problems being reported here. I have been trying diligently to
determine why (or how) my configuration my be different from others, and can
not arrive at anything consistent. So, rest assured, Excel does indeed work
properly and reliably. I am certain that Microsoft is scrambling to find out
what is causing the reported problems, and will be issuing and update just
as soon as they can be sure it really fixes the issues and does not cause
any others.

| Excel freezes rock solid on me. I can do nothing but reboot. I've not figured out the pattern yet. I'm switching to numbers, or using Parallels until this is fixed.
Apparently, not even Mac OS X kernel can save Microsoft. I've never had ANY product on my mac freeze the machine so badly that I had to reboot (only the mouse would work). Beachball of death.

I have been having intermittent problems with Excel 2008 - version 12.0.1 on my 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo Imac running OS 10.5.2. Sometimes it quits, saying it's a memory issue? Now I am trying to open a workbook that was saved with my previous version of Excel (OfficeX) and get the following error ... I like other Office 2008 features, but use excel pivot tables extensively ... can I reinstall OfficeX and chose which I run for what?

This has been reported many, many times in this newsgroup and I've said many
times that this is an Apple issue. Apple is aware of the bug and is working
on a fix. There are many reports that it also affects other apps besides
Microsoft apps. Please contact Apple if you have a complaint about this
specific issue. For other problems with Mac Office, please keep them coming!
Thanks,
Pat

Hi, Pat -
It may be more effective if we all contact Apple about these Excel problems in the same way. Can you supply an e-mail address to use?
Thanks. >> Stay informed about: Glitches with Excel in Leopard |

Hi Roger,
I wish I could do that, but I don't think it would be good for our
relationship with Apple if I did so! I'm not sure of the best way for Apple
customers to report these types of issues, but there should be a way via
Apple's web site.
Thanks,
Pat

Since I upgraded yesterday from Office 2004 to Office 2008, the new Excel has crashed 8 times, first giving the warning "Not enough memory". I have 2 GB of memory on a MacBook Pro running 10.5.2. I can't recall the last time Excel in Office 2004 crashed, if ever.
Is this the Apple issue referred to above? If so, why didn't it affect the old, working, Excel? >> Stay informed about: Glitches with Excel in Leopard |

I suppose it could be the Apple problem mentioned. And the reason it did not
effect Excel 2004, is that Excel 2004 is running in simulation via Rosetta
on Intel machines while Excel 2008 is "native."
On the other hand, I have been running Excel 2008 daily on a MacBook Pro
with 10.5.2 and the latest office updates, and it has never crashed for me.
Have you tried running it in a new user account?

Do you mean a new user account in the Mac OS? If so, no I haven't. Every time I wanted to use Excel (and I dip in and out of it because I'm using it as a database for a book) I'd have to log out of my open applications and effectively restart. Not an appealing work routine. But if it's the only way to go, then I'll have to do it. Or go back to Office 2004. I have the disk somewhere … >> Stay informed about: Glitches with Excel in Leopard |

Yes, I meant a new user account in the Mac OS. I did not mean for it to be
an answer to your problem, but only as a diagnostic. If it works in a new
user account, then there is something (I have no idea what yet) wrong with
your main configuration.

Have you updated Office to 12.0.1 (via Help/Check for Updates)? We fixed a
random crashing bug with that update.
Thanks,
