So, a couple of queries:
1) Is this just normal behaviour (ie normal MS annoying feature) -
do other
users find this happens for them (assuming you have the firewall set
to
block incoming connections for Excel & Word).
Perhaps all Microsoft Products (Entourage, Excel, Word, etc) check for
updates when you launch the application.
Therefore they need access to the Internet.
2) Is there anything else to set (preferences anywhere?) so that
once the
firewall is set to block it just accepts that and doesn't keep
trying to
change my mind!!
Have you checked the Preferences of both Excel & Word to see if you
have "check for Updates" enabled?
Cheers,
Ronni
