The equivalent dialog box for Help/About from older versions of Excel can be
found in XL2007 by clicking the Office Button, then click Excel Options,
then select Resources from the left hand listing and the last item in the
right hand panel should be "about Microsoft Office Excel 2007"... click its
"About" button.

Thanks for that.
I would perhaps eventually have found it by trial and error.

The "Check for Updates" button on that page works really well!
Mine appears to hang the system with the stupid wait icon if your
internet connection breaks whilst it is trying to phone home :(

And I mean broken at a level where although you can swap between
existing running tasks Vista does not respond at all to ctrl-alt-del,
and you cannot start any new ones. This might be a specific wierd
fault with my portable, but it looks to me like an XL2007/Vista
incompatibility. It has after about 20 minutes come up with an error
msg "Logon process has failed to create the security options dialog"
BIG RED X "Failure - security options". One button "OK" pressing it
returns me to the XL2007 waiting icon and it now displays (not
respoonding) in the top of the window. Dead in the water - again!!!! :

Unfortunately my portable does not have a reset switch. I never felt
that I needed one until the Vista / XL2007 combo came along :(
