Hi,
Excel 2007 - Two simple macros.
(I would suggest trying these out).

Private Sub Workbook_Open()

Application.DisplayFullScreen = True
Application.DisplayFormulaBar = False

End Sub

Private Sub Workbook_BeforeClose(cancel As Boolean)

Application.DisplayFullScreen = False
Application.DisplayFormulaBar = True

End Sub

The problem is that when a change has been made to the workbook and the user
clicks cancel when the save dialog appears there is then no option to close
down the application.

Is there any way to force the entire application window to be viewed in
order that the close button can be selected.
