In xl2003 menus, you can show those hidden windows via:

Window|Unhide

If you save personal.xls with the window showing, then it'll be visible the next
time you open it.

When would PERSONAL be visible? The only way I know to create a PERSONAL.xls

If you call the macros in personal.xls by using alt-f8 (tools|macro|macros),

Most people store their personal.xls in their XLStart folder so that it opens
each time excel is started. And most people make sure that personal.xls is
hidden so it doesn't get in the way.

I've read in numerous posts about saving macros in personal.xls but it
appears personal.xls must be open before other workbooks can 'see' the
macros? Is this true? If not why can't I see the macros? TIA
