I am running the trial version of Office 2007 Prof. I too have found that
when I try to open an existing Excel worksheet there is only a blank page
(the ribbon, etc. is there - just no worksheet). I went to the Office button
and could search for the file - but that was a step I'd aready taken. I did
open a worksheet and was distracted, came back to it and it had opened.
Tried just waiting several time with different worksheets and they did open.
But it is a wait of OVER a minute (timed it). Is this because this is a
trial version, or because the worksheets were developed in Excel 2003? Does
this mean that I need to open Excel first (instead of going directly to the
worksheet), then go to the file to speed things up? Anyone have any idea if
this will be corrected? I am considering buying Off. 2007, but these
obstacles make me wonder if 2007is an improvement.

Hello,

I am currently using Excel 2007, when I double click on an excel
file, Excel opens up to a blank screen. If I go to options and then
cancel out, the workbook opens up. Or if excel is already opem and
then I double click on the workbook, it will open that way also.
Anyone have any issues like these?

So far I have ran all updates, and disabled all add-ons. I have ran a
repair, but the problem remains. Not sure what to try next.

All help is apreciated

Ben
