I'd be very grateful for any advice in solving this problem, a fresh install of Excel/Office didn't help.

Welcome to Windows Seven Forums.

There are compatibility issues between Microsoft Office 2000 and Windows 7, for which an update is available.

Windows 7 Compatibility for microsoft office 2000: Drivers, Updates, Downloads

I'd recommend he upgrades to Microsoft Office 2007 or 2010.

Failing that, OpenOffice is a good, free alternative.

You're very welcome.

What did your friend decide to do in the end?

Hello again Seavixen, thank you for enquiring. I suddenly remembered Service Packs so advised they next tried:

Download: Office 2000 Update: Service Pack 3 (SP3) - Microsoft Download Center - Download Details

...but don't know yet if that worked.

Kind regards,

Well, I hope it did.
