Excel Shuts Down every time I use cell A5

For years I have been coping with a bug in Excel that is driving me nuts.  
Virtually every time I use Excel it will shut itself down when I try to enter
text into cell A5.  I cannot see a reason for it and have not been able to
fix this error.  I constantly agree to send the error report, but I'm not
sure that's helping me out as much as it is building up a stat somewhere for
Microsoft.  Please advise!  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Sincerely,
Jonathan

Hi Jonathan:

Open Excel in Office Safe Mode and see if it still fails.

What would that tell me?

That would tell you if a macro or initialization setting is hurting you.  See:

If Excel works in Safe Mode, then we can investigate further.  If Excel does
not work in Safe then we need to think about re-installing Office

Thanks for the advice.  I'll look into it next week.  I'm takin' off for a
conference in Kansas tomorrow, so I don't have anymore time this week.  I
appreciate your consideration.  I'll do some homework and come back with some
feedback.

I have the same problem. I tried to run it in safe mode and the same problem
still happens. This happens to both my computers I run this program on.  If I
delete the row I can use that cell for a little while until it crashes again.
