Vista and MS Office 2003

Vista and MS Office 2003

I have MS Office 2003 and it meets my needs just fine.  At least it did on 
XP.  Excel now doesn't work right in Vista.  Half, usually the bottom half, 
of the Excel display shows no data or lines (the lines the define the cells). 
 When you cursor on over to the blank area, the lines and data start showing 
up all of a sudden.  But if you use page-up or page-down, you end up in blank 
screen again and again the data will start showing up as you use the cursor 
to move around.  Very annoying and time consuming.  Are there any patches 
etc., to fix this?

Is your video driver current? If you slide down the acceleration does your Excel 
data appear okay? If it does it is a sign you need to update the driver.

Mary - I'm not sure what you mean.  If I slide down the acceleration (is that 
the slider on the side of the screen?) and the Excel data appears OK, then I 
wouldn't have a problem, right?  If I use the slider to move around the 
spreadsheet, the data disappears.  The only way I can keep data on the screen 
is to use the cursor to move around.  Using the slider or the page up/down 
function makes the data disappear.  I'll see if I can update the video 
driver.  Thanks.

Re: Vista and MS Office 2003

Control panel, Display, Settings tab, Advanced button, Troubleshoot tab, slide 
the acceleration down and test the Excel file.
