Re: Excel Degrading System?

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance



A quick follow up to this: I've talked with our developers and the message
in the Console is most likely not causing any specific system performance
problems, although we will likely remove our call to that function in the
future, since it is now obsolete.

Thanks,

Pat

In Mac OS 10.5.4, Excel has been behaving erratically. I removed Office 2008
and reinstalled it, and brought it up to date to v. 12.1.1

Here is the Console Message I see after opening Excel: (Should I be concerned
enough to stop using Excel until there is a fix?)

`CGPDFDocumentGetMediaBox' is obsolete and will be removed in an upcoming
update. Unfortunately, this application, or a library it uses, is using this
obsolete function, and is thereby contributing to an overall degradation of
system performance. Please use `CGPDFPageGetBoxRect' instead.
