yes i tried that too, but the problem persists. in your opinion, with both apps failing at the same time would u say that this is an error with adobe or apple? that's the sticking point for me...

I've had this problem a couple of times in the past at work. It's caused by a corrupted Adobe Font Database.
Have a look at Point 10 on the page below:

Anyone worried about Apple's downward spiral in quality lately?
First, the new iMac - widespread display freezing problems (see below), and my SuperDrive took a crap after one month's use. [Luckily I prodded Apple into sending me a new one before having to return the old one. The new one has some obvious hardware changes: different memory vendor, different SuperDrive, and overall faster performance. Looks like Apple's making improvements on the fly.]

Next, the new iPod Classics. I played with one at the local Apple Store and found the UI extremely sluggish and coarse. I tried several others and all were the same. The click-wheel takes 2-3 seconds to respond to finger scrolling; the center button lags the user by 1-2 seconds; scrolling stutters embarassingly; graphics take ages to pop into place. This, too, is well-known by now (example below). My old iPod Photo was faster, smoother, and more reliable than this!

Finally, Leopard proves my point that no OS X version is worth buying until at least 10._.2. I had a question about Time Machine (does it work with network drives?) and couldn't find an available "Genius." So I found a demo iMac, opened Time Machine, and clicked "?" for help. This gave me a spinning beachball for about 3 minutes, followed by "This application closed unexpectedly."
I love Apple's products, but I can no longer blindly purchase them.

If memory serves me right (doesnt always) open up excel then proceed to Insert Function, a drop down box should appear type in Average and double click it and you will get the number box up and do what you do.

Try Tools-> Conditional Sums failing that just hit the help section and type in AutoSum it should point you to the right direction.
Failing that time for an update  alternatively try and get iWork 08 very stable very fast you cant go wrong.

sniff sniif..
still don't work!
iSync 3.0 is tres homo....
saying that it might work on Leopard but i refuse at point blank to pay for something that Nokia and Apple support just neither are clever enough to incorporate it!
