This problem occurs if any of the following conditions is true:


 * You display a toolbar so that it is floating (not docked to one side of the window) over the worksheet. -or-


 * You display the Office Assistant so that it is floating over the worksheet.



WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, dock any floating toolbars and move the Office Assistant off the worksheet.

To dock a floating toolbar, use the following steps:


 * 1) Click the title bar on the floating toolbar.
 * 2) Drag the toolbar to a new location. If you drag the toolbar to the edge of the program window, it becomes a docked toolbar.

To move the Office Assistant, drag it to any location on the screen that is not on the spreadsheet.



STATUS
