All,

I may be barking up the wrong tree here, but in Excel, I get the scroll bars
in my worksheet, no problem. However, some times, when I open a worksheet,
it's size is bigger than the workspace in excel. So that some of the
worksheet extends beyond the "readable" area of the space. In this case,
following Windows logic, there should be scroll bars to control the entire
workspace of excel, yet I am unable to enable this. My only recourse is to
resize the worksheet window to fit in the workspace. Not really what I want
to do.

Any suggestions?

thanks
Mike

Are the scroll bars turned off, perhaps? ToolsOptionsView and check the
boxes for vertical and horizontal scoll bars.

The problem is that the option for toolbars in that section strictly controls
the tool bars within the worksheet and not the workspace. I need a way to
turn on the scroll bars in the work space.

Thanks

Mike - Did you find a resolution? I have the same problem!!

You can change the size of scroll bar, you just have to click on the alphabet in row or column and then stretch or compress it according to the size which is suitable for you. It is the most common problem with the excel sheet about the size and space where we put our data, and you can simply adjust size by this method.

[quote=mike;406398]All,

Was there ever a solution posted to this problem. I have the same problem. That is, the horizontal scroll bar is gone and despite following the Help directions precisely I cannot get it back even though I've checked "show horizontal scroll bar". Would appreciate some help.
