I never thought the day would come when I would have to moan about what is probably my favourite piece of software ever - Microsoft Excel - but today is that day.
Up until a few months back I used Excel 2003 and all was fine. I then upgraded to Office Home and Student 2007 and since then I have had several problems with Excel - mainly it keeps crashing on me! This normally happens when I paste in some data from another worksheet/workbook, realise I have done it wrong (which is usually because the data I have copied contains formulae and I have selected Paste, not Paste Special - Values to get the results of the formulae not have them recalculated on the new sheet) and click Ctrl-Z. It almost always bombs out on me then and often fails to recover the worksheet I was working on. ;fire
I submit my error reports and have installed all the patches but I still get this problem. Pah!
