Default Missing Scroll Bars

Hi Chris,
Excel 2007 is frustrating for all of us, and you really should have
started a new thread something like "Missing Scroll Bars in 2007"
so that others would have been helped as well.

I believe the reference indicated by David Biddulph is good for most
toolbar items until it comes to options, where it kind of leaves you
hanging in mid air after telling you to use the Options under the Office Button.

The extra tabs and things even once at options are confusing, specifically
Office Button in upper left corner, at the bottom of that dialog is Options,
then on the left choose the Advanced button (red), then scroll down on
the right side to "Display options for this workbook" (blue stripe) which is
about 1/3 of way down, then
"Show horizontal scroll bar"
"Show vertical scroll bar"

In Excel 2007, if you keep it, you will have to learn several more keyboard
shortcuts, and if there is a possibility that something is on a context menu
that will be a lot better choice than trying to navigate the ribbons.
So for instance:
- to insert a row right click on the row number,
- to insert a worksheet right click on a sheet tab to the right of where you want new sheet.

What I have so far specifically for Excel 2007 where it is not specifically
related to an existing page is in with my Windows Vista material.

She was lucky to have tools and options visible. I have neither. I've spent an hour trying to find a way to show my scroll bars,
and I would like a refund on Excel 2007. I don't have the time to waste on this given the earlier versions were always navigable.
