Which brings me to the latest version of Microsoft's spreadsheet distrubuted

Yes. Take your electron-microscope,
scan the entire city of Seattle, and you'll find the fix.

P.S. Please quantify "very latest", e.g., Version Number, Release Number,
file-date, file-size, and then describe your spread-sheet, in complete detail.
After all, this is a *full* disclosure mailing-list.
