I have recently purchased MS Office 4.21 for Power Macintosh.
I loaded it all onto my Power Mac 7200/90 16/1G.
Firstly the little Apple above the Apple Menu went black instead of
being the usual rainbow of colours. Then the titles in each window
changed from being the usual Chicago font to something else.
I tried everything from removing the newly added extensions to removing
the Office Manager. Eventually I deleted the Finder Prefs file. This
fixed the problem.
However, when I started up Excel, all the titles changed back to the
other font again. Each time I remove the Finder Prefs file it fixes the
problem. If I open anything else up it is fine. It is only when I then
open Excel that the titles change font again.
While this is only a minor cosmetic thing, I am concerned that there are
other things going on in the background that I cannot see. When the
first problem arose (the black apple), the system became very unstable
with all sorts of nasty memory messages coming up (I rebuilt the desktop
to no avail). I tried to delete one file with NO applications open and
the computer crashed. On restart it got to the Mac OS screen and it
restarted itself again.
Is this simply a minor Excel bug (to add to the long list), or is there
something I can do? Please help!

Melissa Martin.
