Re: Excel Keyboard Lockup

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

We (Microsoft's Macintosh Business Unit) have investigated the keyboard
input issue and believe it's a Leopard Rosetta bug. We've posted a bug with
Apple and have provided a lot of information on the bug (mostly provided by
visitors to this forum). Unfortunately, to find out more about the state of
this issue, you will need to contact Apple.

I'm not sure if the second issue you're reporting is the same or different.
When you say Excel "logs you out", do you mean it quits? Does Excel actually
crash?

Thanks,

Pat

I've seen several other posts similar to my problem, but they were all getting
filled up with other non-topic posts and wanted to get right to the issue I'm
having and hopefully provide a place for others with the same issue I'm having
so please excuse me if this is a repeat.

I'm running Excel 2004 on a MacBook Pro - first model - with Leopard installed
as a clean install. I use several different spreadsheets for bidding and
tracking purposes - most not more than a few pages - and no super-large or
complicated formulas. Every so often, sometimes every cell, sometimes every
few minutes, the keyboard refuses to accept entry. I use a bluetooth apple
keyboard, but it also happens when I use the built-in keyboard. I have to move
my mouse curser to another program - usually the finder - click, and then
click back into or command-tab back into excel. I'm then able to enter the
information and sometimes continue, sometimes click back out again. This is
extremely annoying and time-consuming for someone entering a lot of data.

In addition to the above problem - and possibly unrelated - occasionally (once
per day to once per week), when I'm working in excel it locks up momentarily
and then logs me out.

Any help on these issues would be appreciated. Again, I'm sorry this is
duplicating some things, but the previous posts seem to go nowhere and are
getting off-topic.
