I haven't seen this for a while but it happened all the time to our Macs
here when we were installing Office 98 last summer. It's documented how to
fix it in Microsoft's knowledgebase somewhere. Let me see if I can
remember the fix. I think if you throw away the Embedding Preferences and
PPC Registration database from the Preferences folder, restart and then try
to open Excel to see if your problem goes away. Believe it or not those
are files for MS apps registering their installation. It seems to me there
was one other suspect file also but browsing my prefs I can't remember
which one and I don't seem to be able to find it a MS right now. Does
anyone else think MS's web pages just keep getting worse every time they
tinker with them:-)? I looked again you might also try throwing away the
Office Registration Cache.
Good luck,
Lisa
