Hi Bob and Pat,
Thanks for your reply. Here is the extra information you asked.
I have extracted a small piece of the sheet and it crashes Excel every
time you edit a certain cell. I have sent the file to Pat with instructions
on how to reproduce the problem and with the information that is shown to
the user after force quitting the frozen excel.

The file had no problems with 2004, 2007, or 2008 without SP1. After
installing Office 2008 SP1 the problems began.

Others are still 2004 and there is one 2007 on Vista that work ok with
this file.

I just repaired the permissions (there was only one error
(private/etc/cups) and show details was checked in disk utility) and tested
again: it still crashed.
