[comp.sys.mac.apps] Excel 3.0 scrolling problems

A while back I had posted a question concerning Excel 3.0 and system
7.0.  It seems that I could not "click and drag" to the left when in the
middle of a spreadsheet.

Several people wrote back and stated that they had no problem doing
this, so I explored the situation a bit deeper.

It seems that the problem occurs when you have the "display row and
column headings" box turned off under the "display..." options.  When
they are turned off, your can click and drag right, up, and down, but
the machine will not let you drag left; the cursor comes to the left
edge of the screen and sits there.

Sounds like a bug to me...

  Sorry.... this still works fine for me (on a Mac IIci)

  I'm still worried about the consistent crashing when you click
in the Style box of the toolbar.
