Hi JEM - thanks for replying - its very strange: when I format a cell e.g.
underline using CTRL & U or make a cell bold CTRL & B, also when I
haighlighted a print range using the icon these actions all had the same
effect which is that the excel file doesn't respond, the egg timer comes up
and eventually when I check windows task manager after 5 minutes it just says
that all excel files that were open do not respond, so I have to shut them
down.

I've never seen this before?

If you could shed any light on this I would really appreciate it.

Thanks
Alan (aka goriilla_bear)

Does it fall over for every workbook, or just one or a few?
