Default XL2007 - checking build version and applied fixes

I've found that some code related to legend placement that worked in 2003 for
charts no longer works in 2007. I wonder how many other "improvements" I'll
have to deal with. You may want to post this in the Charting group as well.

I have a curious problem. A VBA based XL application that is heavy on
the use of graphical objects has recently stopped working in XL2007
after some hotfix updates were applied (at a remote site). It had
previously been fine.

I want to get XL2007 to show me its build version and a list of all
patches/hotfixes applied and dates to try and bracket the hotfix which
has caused the problem.

On previous XLs some basic version info would be easily accessible
under &Help &About (which is simple enough to ask users to do in fault
finding) but I cannot find it anywhere on these new fangled ribbon
things.

Is it still possible to get XL in its 2007 incarnation to tell you its
build configuration?
(preferably in a way that a simple minded user can follow)

Thanks,
