WORKAROUND FOUND:
If I select the View fullscreen the scrollbars work on the fullscreen!!

If I follow this by detecting the top line to restore a view of the ribbon
the window returns to a screen that is less than full and the scrollbars
work.

I AM THINKING THAT THE BROKEN SCROLLBARS ON STARTUP IS A BUG.

I was using version 12.0.6213.100. I have a file that demonstrates the
problem and was able to duplicate it on two different systems. We are using
XP for on OS.

I have downloaded an 2003 excel spreadsheet. WHen I view this file in 2007
I do not have any scrollbars. I have looked at excell options /advanced
and scrollbars should be available but they are not.

I can not enter new cells that would fall below the max size of a window. I
can not select cells that I need to scroll to get.

2007 is unusable in this state.
If I create a new file I have scroll bars. If I save this file and open it
in 2007 scroll bars are missing.

Is there a way to attach the file to this post?
