Kidd_Ip Thanks for that. The trouble is that when I open Excel, the very first thing that pops up is the "Microsoft Respects Your Privacy" popup:
I can't click on options or anything else at all, until I have completed the Privacy dialogue. At the and of the dialogue, I'm told that a restart is required. If I ignore that & try to go through the options that you suggest, when I get to the part when I click on "Privacy settings...", I just get a pop up stating that a restart is required! So I can't actually get into the privacy options to change them!
