Maybe the workbook is open, just off the visible screen.

Window|arrange|Tiled
and resize the way you like.

I have a user that occasionally when he opens a xls the screen is completely
blank, no grid lines, no data, no anything. If he print previews it the
information is there, also you can see the information in normal view if you
move the cursor around. It appears in the toolbar.

He has the latest updates to Office 2003 installed.

Any ideas?
