This an FYI.

I created a Custom Toolbar and next thing I know I can't open Excel outside of safe mode. Every time I'd try to open Excel my computer would completely freeze; CTRL/ALT/DELETE would not even reset my computer.

After doing some research, I found an article saying that often times a General Protection Fault is caused by a Custom Toolbar.

To fix it, I simply renamed Excel.xlb and everything was fine after that.

Has anyone else run across this and can it be avoided?

Add Bullets to Range
Select range. Press Ctrl+1. On Number tab, choose Custom. Type Alt+7 then space then @ sign (using 7 on numeric keypad)
Thanks, Juan. It seems to be working fine. I'm glad to hear that it doesn't happen that often, although, I wish it wouldn't happen at all. :D
