Try this trick:
Install Font/DA Juggler Plus (not version 2.0) on your hard disk.
Reboot your system.
Start up Microsoft Excel v1.04
When the untitled spreadsheet comes up, enter two columns of 10 numbers
Go to the File menu and select New...
Select type "Chart" and click OK
After the chart comes up, go to ANY menu item and click on it
*CRASH* [ID=02]
So much for the trick. The gist of this is that Microsoft Excel will
crash doing a relatively simple thing. If I were to remove Font/DA
Juggler Plus, Excel will run OK. My system configuration was: System 4.2
with Finder 6.0. System 4.1 with Finder 5.5 does the same thing.
Now, I already know that Excel has some problems with Multifinder. On
the other hand, Font/DA Juggler Plus is a relatively new product (I got
mine at the MacWorld Expo).
Anyone else having problems or any ideas?
