It's been happening in my 2007 version, too. I have to click on the office
button before anything opens. I'd also appreciate any suggestions. (Sorry,
Jambo, to not be any help to you, but you do have my sympathy/support!)

Hi,

This is a strange one. If I double click on a saved Excel 2003 workbook
(saved on my desktop), it takes ages to open and then will hang. If I open
Excel then select the workbook, it loads immediately.

Has anyone any ideas on this one?
