two-fold problem
I have excel 2003 and have not had any problems with it in the past. Lately,
though, when I open excel, all I get is a gray screen until I ViewFull screen. Then I get the grids, but no tabs for the sheets. If I go to the help tab on top and open the help file under tabs, it tells me to go to ToolsOptions, and make sure the sheet tabs is checked. It is already checked so I leave it alone, but oddly just by opening the help tab and searching for 'sheet tabs', they will appear on my spreadsheet. If I close the help box, the sheet tabs disappear too. I have begun to use excel with the help tab open so I can navigate the sheets.... not the best situation. I think I have two problems. Why do I get a gray screen when I first open the program and then what's up with the tabs not visible? -- M Roach |

Just a guess...
Instead of using view|full screen, how about trying Window|arrange|tiled Then resize those windows the way you like. Under certain conditions, excel will remember how the window was arranged when you closed the file and re-open it in that same manner.

Thanks for an answer. I did that and it was already on the tiled option. I
clicked off and back on and it still doesn't work. -- M Roach "Dave Peterson" wrote: Just a guess...

I'm not sure how you turned this off, but when the window was tiled, could you
see the tabs? If yes, then maybe just maximizing that window would be sufficient. MRoach wrote: Thanks for an answer. I did that and it was already on the tiled option.
