Excel problem

[Ed Varner]

Hello. I hope I am posting in the correct newsgroup. I use Excel 97
and am having a recurring error in all of my saved programs. Anytime I
am working on a previously saved worksheet, I get the following error
message when I attempt to change the font color or background color of
a cell:

XCEL caused an invalid page fault in
module MSO97.DLL at 0167:307333ca.
Registers:

The program then crashes. I can change font colors and background
colors in new files, as this error only seems to occur on my saved
files. Copying the worksheet to a new book does not stop the error
from occurring. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Ed V

Reinstall or Repair Office.
If the problem persists, reinstall Windows

Before you do that you need to be aware that EVERYTHING on the hard will be
lost. You need to have a backup and, if it is not a 100% backup, you need
to be able to accept any loss. There may be a way of going back but will
cost hundreds.

Have a look at my web site
