Tools & Format Options Cause Freeze
Nov 21, 2006
On one of my computers, Excel is freezing up just about any time I select something from the Tools or Format Menus (same goes if I use keyboard shortcuts to call any of those things). I have to kill it with the task manager. It is not a specific workbook, I've tried several, including new blank workbooks.
It's not all menus, as File options seem to work. I also am able to Autosize columns by double clicking, but basically any other formatting things (i.e. CTRL + 1) do not work. I also tried to show the Cell Format dialog via VBA, (note: I am able to get to VBA editor, etc...), and it locked it up then too.
Finally, I tried "Detect & Repair" from the Office disk, but that didn't do anything. Next, if necessary, I'll do a full re-install unless anybody else has heard of this and knows what the problem is.

I use several different workbooks during the day, and sometimes I would prefer the " move selection after enter direction" option to = "Right" and sometimes "Down". It doesn't seem to be an option that is saved with the workbook.
what could be done to a workbooks code to change this option upon opening the book?

I have a table with rows that keep growing. But I have place formula in the whole of column F, i.e. F2:F66565. When I import information from MS Access into column A to E, the formula in F does not work, until I copy from F2 to the end manually. I have tried using Tools, Options, Calculation, Automatic. That doesn't work, I have also tried F9, that doesn't work and I have also tried checking Precision as Displayed under the calculation tax in Tools-Options, that doesn't work either.

Is there a way to freeze your pivot table format after clicking for a ' Refresh'. I'm getting tired reformatting my column headers to wrap or in the middle etc. I'm working in Excel 2007.

I have a macro which I recorded, then modified. The first thing it does is to freeze the top row, then it goes looking for a particular row and inserts some formulae. Nothing complicated at all.
It WAS working perfectly, but I wanted some improvements in the insertion of the formulae. I got that working just fine, but now the panes freeze in the wrong place. No matter what I do, it freezes at cell I16. I want only the top row frozen.
Found this code which was reported to work:
PHP Code:
ActiveWindow.FreezePanes = False Range("A1").Select ActiveWindow.FreezePanes = True
It still freezes at I16. I have tried shutting down Excel, and even my computer, in case it is some weird bug where something is stuck in memory.
I tried recording another macro to format some cells and also freeze the top row. Same result.
PHP Code:
Sub wraptext_top_row()'' wraptext_top_row Macro''
Rows("1:1").Select With Selection
.HorizontalAlignment = xlCenter
[Code] ..........
Same result. I tried copying the contents of the worksheet to Notepad, then into a fresh workbook, just in case there's some weird hangup in formatting that I can't see.
There is NOTHING in the original code that references that cell, or even that row or column. NOTHING. How it got hung up on that one cell I cannot fathom.
The Freeze Panes command works normally if I apply it manually. Any cell, anywhere, it works as expected.

I'm "missing something" here. I used the EOMONTH function in a recently developed workbook. In order to activate that function, I had to go to the Tools menu, select the Add Ins option and add the Analysis Toolpak to my Excel configuration ... no problem, worked like a charm. Then I sent the workbook to another user. Of course, the EOMONTH function came up with errors when she opened it. I talked her through the Tools/AddIns/Analysis Tookpak configuration change ... but could not get the EOMONTH formula to work.

Just discovered the drawing tools on my quick access tool bar are disabled. All were enabled and working fine just yesterday. I'm running 07 on xp. I've shut down and rebooted, no change. Need to know how this could have happened but mostly, how to enable.

I placed an add-in (.xla file) with a " function" and a "sub" into C:Microsoft Office XPOffice10Library. When I go to Tools-->Add-Ins the Add-In doesn't show up. When I browse the file it says it already exists and still doesn't show up. The strange thing is that the "function" does work, but the sub (which is a sub worksheet_change) doesn't run. I also tried doing the steps as they are laid out in http://www.ozgrid.com/VBA/excel-add-in-create.htm and ended up with the same problem. The function works when I open up a brand new Excel application and use Book1, so I know the function isn't embedded in the sheet.

Why when I open some files that have macros and I enable macros on initial opening and then go to tools-macro-macros it's not showing anything there, but when I press Alt F11 then I can see macros?
Is there any way to change this that I can see all macros from tools-macro-macros?

I've created and excel spreadsheet that has code like this in a Module named Print w/ in the workbook:
Sub Print_wsPrint()
Sheets("Print").PrintOut
End Sub
I have saved it as an MS Office Excel add-in.
I added the add-in to my excel environment via Tools, Add ins...and let it copy it to my C:Documents and SettingsjohnApplication DataMicrosoftAddIns directory.
But yet when I create a menu button and assign the Print_wsPrint to a custom menu, it complains and says "The macro Model.xls!Print_wsPrint cannot be found," where Model.xls is the workbook I am in. It's in my add-in, not in the current wb.

I am setting up VBA code to create different excel workbooks. One of the differences is in the VBA Tools References that must be enabled to make the whole thing function.
How do I write VBA code to turn on and off specific tool references ie. if i had a reference called OrbitCOM Library how can I turn it on and off using VBA code.

I have a spreadsheet with check boxes and a combo box that are set to display in print preview as well as print. I have set up a Print Preview button on this spreadsheet, as well. When you click the Print Preview button and then click close on the preview window and return to the spreadsheet, the control toolbox tools appear out of place and are greatly magnified. Scrolling the screen down and then back makes them appear correctly once again.
I have seen this on this spreadsheet on three different computers. Does anyone have a clue what is going on?
Note, clicking the print preview button on the standard toolbar does not provide the same artifact. It works correctly.
Or for the cheap fix, what is the VB script to move the cursor to a different cell and then return back?

I can't find anywhere where there may be some VB code to allow text within a cell in Excel to be circled. I don't want drawing objects, because many times I need to modify 30-40 sheets at one time and Excel doesn't allow you to alter drawing objects when you have multiple sheets selected. Therefore, I just want to be able to apply a circle around some text in a cell the same way you would underline it, for example. I figured my only hope is VBScript?

I have multiple sheets as part of my excel calculations which refer to the first sheet in the group. Each one calculates different values for me based on the numbers I put into the sheet.
So to put in these numbers, I insert new rows to the start of the sheet which is what I always want it to calculate. Some of the calculations are comparative to other points from my original page. So I might ask it to go back and compare to 3 months ago or 6 months ago.
Long story short, when I insert those new rows, the formula on the other pages shift down to stay on the previous days data. How can I lock it in so it stays focused on just the cell I tell it to reguardless of how I move those cells around. So when i hit insert, I still want it focused on that sheets A1 and NOT A2.
I attempted to look up the help section but since I am having a hard time putting this into words, help was not much "help".

I am wanting to freeze the first column on my spreadsheet (easy) but also the top few rows. Every time I try (am using 2007) it seems to make a strange selection where it splits the screen exactly into 4 equal parts rather than just the first column and top 4 rows.

Is there a way to freeze specific panes? I know that you can use freeze panes to freeze cells to the left and above a specified cell but I am trying to freeze specific cells. For instance I want to freeze cells A1 through K25 so that when I scroll up everything else scrolls up and when I scroll right everything else scrolls right?
