<i must face the challenge of uninstalling Excel 2007 and re-installing the more capable Excel 2003

I wouldn't do that if I were you.

Labels have always been warned for, mainly because they were poorly implemented.
Use Defined Names instead. You probably won't have to change one formula.
In the Formulas tab, Defined Names box, choose Create from selection.
