Dear Jon,
This issue (or a very similar one) was reintroduced with Service Pack 2. I
note it has apparently ben fixed in Excel 2010 (beta) but are there any fixes
for Excel 2007? I have had this acknowledged as a bug by the Excel team bak
inth esummer of last yeart but have nit heard anything about a fix... I have
also posted a message to theis forum once or twice in the last few weeks but
that seems always to disappear (at least I can find no trace of it)...
Best wishes, Bors.
