I have been working in Excel forever and this has never happened before. I
must have changed some setting but don't know what. When I go to 'save as',
instead of the small box popping up where you choose the file you want to
save to....the box fills the screen and there is no way to minimize it. Can
someone tell me what setting has to be changed in order to get that inset box
to be small again?

Thanks,

There is no Minimize but you can resize the dialog window.

Just grab a corner and resize by dragging.

Just to add to Gord's reply...

If that window is maximized, you can right click on the title bar and choose
restore.

(doubleclicking on the title bar will toggle between full screen and a window)

YOU ARE BRILLIANT!!!!! Thank you sooooo much. That did the trick. I have
been trying to un-do that for 2 hours and it was making me bonkers. You're
the best!

Thanks again,
