No, it 'don't':-) As I understand it, apps do not write or delete files in OS X. That is a service reserved by the OS & provided to the apps on demand, so if the temp files aren't being released it suggests that some maintenance may be in order. Since you haven't stated your exact update levels for Office or OS X I'd suggest you start there. Make sure Office is at 12.2.3 & that OS X is at 10.5.8 (I believe that's the current level for Leopard). Additionally, start your Mac from the OS X source disk & run Disk Utility - Repair Disk [Not 'Repair Disk Permissions'].

If any errors are found run the utility again until it reports no errors. It may also be wise to fetch the 10.5.8 Combo Update from the Apple Downloads site & reapply it. Keep in mind also that much of the routine disk maintenance doesn't take place if you don't Quit applications once in a while as well as restart your Mac. If you leave things running 24/7 those housekeeping chores never get done & the cumulative effect can get messy. If you still have the problem please provide additional details about where the files are stored. Other local HD? Network drive?

As well as any other information you can supply.

Hi Given your symptoms perhaps there is something wrong in the file system's volume header.

I find that my macbook pro freezes SOLID, when I try and copy and paste from certain Excel sheets. Then of course, I have to power off, you can't force quit for the life of you so Asta La Vista to any other. To resolve this problem, use one of the following methods, depending on your version of Office for Mac. Excel 2016 for Mac Step 1: Quit all programs and close all windows. On the Apple menu, click Force Quit. Select an application in the 'Force Quit Applications' window. Note You cannot quit Finder. Click Force Quit.

Try running DiskWarrior, TechTools, DriveGenius or other repair utility and see if that fixes the problem. -Jim -- Jim Gordon Mac MVP Co-author of Office 2008 for Mac All-in-One For Dummies http://tinyurl.com/Office-2008-for-Dummies. I need to create a project schedule using excel. Hi lack of details:-) Maybe give some more information what you're trying to do?

In this example, I have a document of 100 pages, when I print the document, the column headers only print on the first page and not the subsequent pages. Also I would like all the pages to be numbered. Is therea fix for this? Hi Richard, For your first question goto File>Page Setup>Sheet tab and look for the option 'Rows to repeat at top' For your second question goto View>Header and Footer and look at the &[page] and &[pages] options in your footer. I have a large (30x20) grid of cells with data, and I want to extract and then sum up certain numerals from this entire range. The catch is that the data is mixed numerals and text, as you'll see below.

Here's an abbreviated 3x3 example, with a value in each of the nine cells: V7.1 T H P1 A T B V3 P4.5 If I just wanted to sum up the instances of 'T' appearing, I could use COUNTIF() for the entire range to come up with answer ('T' appears 2 times). But, what I'm trying to accomplish is to sum up the numerals associated w. I have created trendlines for some pretty simple data using both 2nd order polynomial and linear fits. In both cases, the displayed formulas have their 1st and 2nd order coefficients wrong by a factor of 10!! (I have read lots of posts about increasing precision but this is not what I am up against).

Has anyone seen this? What version of Excel? Could you include the data in a follow up post (not as an attachment), along with the coefficients you've computed?

- Jon ------- Jon Peltier, Microsoft Excel MVP Tutorials and Custom Solutions Peltier Technical Services, Inc. - My problem is similar to someone else's below(about Excel 2003 not being able to update), the only difference is that I don't want Excel to update at all. I don't even use it. But the yellow shield kept telling me that it had 1 update available, which was Excel 2003, so, out of annoyance, I installed it. After failing to install several times, I decided to uninstall Excel from Microsoft Office(Pro Edition 2003).
