We had found so many bugs in Excel versions 2.1c and 2.1d that it wouldn't surprise me that Excel 3.0 is as buggy handling fonts.

It had to be in there somehow; thanks to Computer Currents for writing how to do it. In Excel 3.0: Formula Goto the *last* cell: IV16384 Scroll until this is the only cell visible, in the upper left corner of the screen. Set its row height and column width to 0 Double click on the little button in the upper left corner. Enjoy! Aaron Wallace

Can anyone email me any of the other "hidden" stuff for any/all Windows applications? This is the first one I've seen (although I dimly remember somthing about Word for Windows and "OPUS").

I have 8M RAM but that shouldn't matter. Does the problem occur when you have other applications active? Also, what did Microsoft say? -- +------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Santanu Sircar BITNET: ssircar@umaecs.bitnet | | University of Massachusetts/Amherst INTERNET: ssircar@ecs.umass.edu | +------------------------------------------------------------------------------+

Microsoft sent me a free copy of Excel 3.0 and I've used it on two 80386-based systems. I've yet to see a problem with it, and I'm running plenty of extra software on the system: QEMM memory manager, disk caching, network drivers, and such. Frank Calloway

A not-so-fun way to get it to crash is to have about 20 to 30 embedded
charts in your spreadsheet. Then try to print it. You will be lucky if
all you get as an UAE instead of locking up the whole computer! Microsoft
has no solution yet.
