I just upgraded to Excel 4.0 and am puzzled by this message
I get from time to time. Every once in a while when I try to
access HELP, I get a requestor which says something like THE
MICROSOFT HELP SYSTEM IS OUT OF MEMORY and then a second
requestor that says UNABLE TO ACCESS HELP. After getting these
requestors, I checked ABOUT EXCEL and find 1.9 megs, of the 2
megs alloted to Excel, available. Once I get the help system
requestor, I cannot access HELP again until I restart Excel.
Help will then work correctly until it decides it doesn't want
to work anymore. The one way I can get the help system to bomb
every time is to ask for a print preview and then ask for HELP.
All of this is taking place on an 8 Meg IIci with no other
applications running. Anybody know what's going on here?
