Excel Program not responding

ewetzel · 12-31-2008, 03:32 PM

I just recently purchased a new lap top that has vista operating system. All my files from old lap top have been moved over to my new computer; it was windows XP with office 2003.

I just completed making a spread sheet form in excel, when I clicked to print it nothinng happend. When I went to look at the print command to see wanat had happend, the entire page with the speard sheet was frozen. I can't save it, close it or make anyitem on the tool bar work.

I can open excel a second time and open and work other excel files but this one I just made is locked. Is there anyway to get it to repsond with out closing through task manager and loosing the form I made?

Is this Office 2007 or 2003 on Vista?

Look for a file in the same folder beginning with a "~" - it is a temp file and may contain some part of the file you are working on now.
