Default I can define a name, but I cannot use the name - menu Insert-Name-Use is blank

Hello

I defined a name "TEST" in menu Insert - Name - Define:
=OFFSET(Sheet1!$C$1;1;0;1;1)
I want to use the name "TEST", but Menu Insert - Name - Use does not
offer my name (in any sheet).
I also don't see the defined name in the names field next to the
formula bar.

When I define standard name (just select range and type a name to the
names field and press Enter), I can use this name and I see it in
names field.
I use Win NT with Excel 2003. I never had this problem in Win 2000. In
existing workbook (created in Win 2000), I can use this function
without problems.

Thank you

The Insert Name dialog doesn't show it, but it's still there and available.
Just type a formula like

=Test

To test your name use f5 goto type in the name
