There is a slignt incompatibility between the latest Netscape and Firefox browsers and web pages produced by Excel.

See my post in this forum on a workaround.

A "slight" incompatibility is a incompatibility. Changing browers is like buying another used car,you trade one set of problems for another.

Viewing web pages created by Excel is like researching the bloody used car purchase by talking to the freakin used car dealer!
Need to install Windows again?

Anyone already used Opera?
I used it for a while before I discovered Firefox...
Same experiences, but the free version of Opera has publicity banners.

Just a slight variation on the Firefox platform. Been using "Smartfox" [on a friends pc]


Smartfox reviews at Download.com

Seemingly based on Firefox 0.8. Apart from it hawking/touting a search site called "smartplane" as the default search being a slight pain, I've found it "lighter" on the WIn98SE system and capable of running most of what Firefox 1.0 plus would. The friend went to Smartfox after Firefox 1.03 and 1.04 failed in their installs.

Just a note.

Oh dear. Please do NOT use that. It is an already outdated and less secure version of firefox. It is NOT a different browser at all.

I found a trick for viewing Excel pages:

If the page is all scrunched up to the left, hit Reload. Repeat if necessary. Usually it works after one or two tries.
