Does this mean you can't see the cells in the window below the formulabar?

If yes, then try:
window|arrange|tiled
and then you can resize that window the way you want.

If no, maybe you could be more descriptive.

When some of my Office 2003 excel files are opened I can only see the data if
I select the cell and view the data in the data entry field at the top of the

How do I resolve this issue? I tried doing a repair several times and that
didn't work. I am trying to avoid uninstalling Office and reinstalling.

Thanks in advanced for your help.
