Microsoft Excel 97 section in a Microsoft Office 97 Binder, you may receive
the following error message:
Run-time error '28':
Out of stack space
Or, you may receive the following error message:
This program has performed an illegal operation and will be shut down.
If the problem persists, contact the program vendor.
If you click Details, you receive error messages similar to the following:
EXCEL caused an invalid page fault in module KERNEL32.DLL at
0137:bff9a5d0.
BINDER caused an exception 6bfH in module KERNEL32.DLL at
0137:bff9a3c0.

Microsoft Office Binder 97 window, the problems do not occur.
