There is a bug in Excel 2008 that affects "forms," which includes the scroll bars we use in several studios. When you click on a form element, the element's image will jump on the page to a new location, typically one or two cells up from the original location. This renders scroll bars extremely difficult to use since you have to track them down and move them without having them jump back. This bug is not present in earlier versions of Excel for Mac and we have had no reports of any problems in Excel for Windows, where we use the windows-only technique of "controls" instead of "forms" ("controls" and "forms" look the same externally, but behave differently internally). Because controls give better performance (things slide smoother), we recommend these studios be completed under windows. If you have a Mac and an earlier version of Excel, use the Mac-friendly version posted on the home page. If you must use a Mac and Excel 2008, then we have prepared the version below using "spinners" instead of scroll bars. These don't give the same feel of movement, but are much easier to use since they record each click to increment or decrement values before they jump around the screen.
