Well, it does much of the time, but every so often it does not. I like
working with the worksheet full size. Sometimes I'll minimize the
size to allow two different things to be viewed at once, but I always click
the full size icon in the upper right before I save and close down.

For some reason I sort of remember clicking on a box in Excel 2003 that will
allow Excel to always open full screen. I can not find that option in 2007.
I tried the Big Round icon in the upper left corner then into Excel Options
Tabs. But can not see where I can do what I did with 2003.

Your help is appreciated.

There is no such option in any Excel. Excel writes its current state to the
registry when it closes and reads it on starting up. So, unless something
interferes with either process, you get what you had on your last exit.

I have the same problem. Excel does not remember the format I last exit, and
always open in half screen. What might be interefering with the process?
Could you give me some example, so that I can try to fix it.

Thanks,
