Open Excel for Mac 2011 and try to save a file. If you can save a file, review the contents of 'New Folder' to decide which files that you want to keep. If the problem continues to occur, go to the next method. Hi, I have a Mac Mini with Leopard and Office 2004 with all updates on both. My keyboard is a Microsoft 'Natural Ergonomic Keyboard 4000v 1.0'. I have MicroSoft keyboard 6.2 software driver installed, I'm not sure if there are any new updates for the keyboard or not. The problem is in Excel I'll be typing and suddenly the keys strokes don't yield any typing in the cells. Other applications seem fine. Two things make the keys work again, 1) Toggeling the Num Lock key 2) Making another application active and then making Excel active again. Has anyone else had this problem and if so what is the fix? Thanx, Rocky Gautam Sethi 5/5/2008, 12:22 น. I have been experiencing this issue as well. Excel seems to randomly stop accepting input. Functional keys work (e.g., arrow keys to move from one cell to another, the delete key, any key that is an action as opposed to a text input works), but text entry doesn't seem to work (letters or numbers). Functionality is temporarily restored by clicking outside of excel and then back into it. It's kind of random, but I've found a behavior where it nearly always happens for me. If I open the find window and type in a search term for something that won't be found a text not found dialogue pops up which I can clear by hitting enter, but I can't then replace the text in the find dialogue box until I click out and back in. I've seen this issue posed on Apple discussion forum as well. > Hi, > > I have a Mac Mini with Leopard and Office 2004 with all updates on both.

I have had similar crashing problems, though they are somewhat rare, maybe once every other week. Just today while working in Excel the spinning beachball came up and although I could move the mouse around, I couldn't click away from Excel to bring any other app to the front and it just sat there until I had to hold down the power key to force a restart. As I said, it doesn't happen often, but it does happen. ![]() Most times there is a recovered document waiting for me after reboot that is up to date with where it crashed, making me wonder whether it might be something with autosave. > I am having the EXACT same problem, but mine comes with an extra special bonus: while working in Excel and dealing with non-responsive cells - my ENTIRE laptop will randomly re-boot mid work flow. We're not talking 'unexpected crash'.we're talking total restart. This seems to be triggered 'around' the time I am copying and pasting. Any idea why this is happening? Anyone else experience random re-booting? ![]() Is this a Leopard + Office 2004 problem? Pat McMillan 8/5/2008, 10:19 น. With regard to the problem of keyboard input stopping to work, for those encountering it, could you send me a system profile? I've seen a lot of reports of this, but the only consistent thing in the threads is 2004 + Leopard. Since we've done a fair amount of testing on that configuration and not seen this problem, there's got to be something else about the configuration that's causing this. Please send any system profiles to. Thanks, Pat On 5/7/08 6:08 PM, in article [email protected], ' wrote: -- Pat McMillan Macintosh Business Unit Microsoft Corp.

Hi Pat - FWIW, I have 2004 installed on my MBP in Leopard 10.5.0 & haven't witnessed this either. However, it seems to me that Apple has been releasing an unusually high number of 'Firmware Updates' [one of which is specifically for MB, MBP Keyboard] as well as what they're calling 'Firmware Restoration CD's. Is it possible that some of this might be attributable to the affected systems or the updates themselves?

I am running Leopard and Office 2004 and I too am experiencing the problem with Excel (and very occasionally Word) not accepting keyboard input in mid-stream. It is happening frequently. I click in outside Excel in the Finder window and back in the cell in Excel that I was working in, and everything works fine (for a while). I use the same Office version on my iMac desktop but running Tiger with no problems.
