Please help me quickly resplve my crashing Excel program.

I get a message that says Excel has encountered an error and needs to close. After I send the error report, it reverts to the last autosaved version.

It's very frustrating, because even though autosave is set for 3 min...I still have to re-do everthing I was working on and loose my place.

~I use Excel everyday, and had no problems on my OLD MACBOOK, or any of my various PC's.

iMac, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.5)

Is it up to date?

Office has lots of issues with Fonts. While excel isn't a font heavy program, it's worth checking.

Open Font Book

Select All Fonts

Select Validate Fonts from the File menu.

Resolve any problems.

Microsoft installs a lot of fonts that are duplicates of the System Fonts. I turned off all of the Microsoft duplicates.
