Excel works fine for me!
I wonder if the presence of this bug has something to do with how one has chosen to create their users partitions. The "old" way used by many (including myself) of using Netinfo to specify the volume name and creating symbolic links in 10.0 and 10.1 broke a number of applications (including Palm Desktop and Excel). However, using fstab to create separate mount points, see this link for example, http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20021011053443661, I have no problems with Excel macros (or Palm Desktop for that matter). Additionally, my Office installation was a fresh one after the partitions were created.
Excel works fine for me... Now.
I have 5 partitions on Panther - basically Apps, Users, System, Linux, and Space. MS Office v.x 2003 installed on Apps. Using the fstab mount hack to mount partitions in the right place:

I Found that by deleting CRDB or Office Registration Cache X, I could allow files to open ok - until I quit word or excel.. then I would have to delete them again etc. All fixed now (it seems) thanks for the hint. I created a new user - and then used to shift the user to system partition. Changed home dir for user to /nuser in in NetInfo manager... and deleted /Users/nuser - rebooted logged in.. Ran MS Office (Word Excel) and registered (again). Got Carbon Registration Database form /nuser/Library/Preferences/Microsoft/... and copied into other users ~/Library/Preferences/Microsoft/..
Works fine now. Also copied same CRDB to 2 other machines (eMac G4/700 and iMac G3/333) and that fixed them as well...
