XL5: System Size Increases After Running Excel

ID: Q97859

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Excel for the Macintosh, versions 3.0, 4.0, 5.0

SUMMARY

If you are running Microsoft Excel for the Macintosh with Apple Macintosh system software version 7.0, 7.01, or 7.1, if the amount of memory your operating system uses increases, and if this memory is not released when you exit Microsoft Excel, it may be an indication that the fonts on your system are damaged.

WORKAROUND

To fix the damaged fonts, use the original font disks to reinstall the damaged fonts.

MORE INFORMATION

This problem occurs when some of the fonts installed on your system are modified or damaged. This results in the system loading all those fonts into memory when you start Microsoft Excel. The only way to release this memory is to restart your system.
