- Somewhere wet & hilly in NW England.
Just purchased a new Laptop and downloaded MS Office 365 Personal.
Here's the problem:
Upon opening an Excel workbook the first use of the Bold function to format a cell caused the program to hang for 10-15 seconds. Subsequent use was ok until the next time the workbook was used when the problem repeated itself.
Happened on all of my Excel workbooks.
After much trial and error and extensive Googling etc the solution was found - our 6 year old Epson printer had been designated the default printer. Removing its default printer status cured the problem.
I can't find an explanation as to how this caused the problem in the first place.
Any ideas - just to satisfy my curiosity?
