Have you tried doing some more than just basic level stuff at your girlfriend's work computer because she has to get her sheets ready NOW and discovered that this a French version of the program? Can you imagine was happens when you are helping someone and telling him to select the File->Open-Special->Exec menu option while holding the control key down and he cannot find the option and key because he has Datei->Spezielles =D6ffnen->Befehl Ausfuhren and a Strg-taste? One should be very carefull about translating things. (Whoever thought of translating the macrolanguages of some PC products should never come close to me). Jan
