Operating System Snow Leopard with Excel 2008.

Version: 2008 Operating System: Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard) Processor: Intel I have been reading message on this forum (albeit lately it is difficult because of recent changes). Is there an ongoing issue with Excel 2008 with Snow Leopard?

Yes, there are two:

* File in Use Bug

* Slow performance in Page Layout view

The File In Use bug appears to affect only network users, and often involves
"lock files" (which are hidden) not being deleted.

The slow performance bug is triggered if all of the following are true:
‹ Operating System is OS 10.6
‹ View is Page Layout View
‹ Printer driver is from Hewlett Packard
‹ Paper size is not US Letter

Change any one of those parameters and the bug will not occur. Microsoft is
testing a fix for it.

Hope this helps
