I'm not sure if this'll help, but you may want to review Chip Pearson's site:

Dave,

Thank you very much for that link. I will have to switch monitors out, but
I unchecked "extend my Windows desktop onto this monitor" and opened the
files I was having issues with and they are now working properly.

Thanks again, I appreciate it.

I was trying to describe that you couldn't even see the cells. So my previous
suggestion won't work.

Do you use multiple monitors?

Mike Brambley posts a link to a suggestion that worked for him.

Yes that is problem. For example I have a calendar and the only thing in the
cells are numbers, which are not visible until I click on the cell and see
the number in the formula bar. This problem just recently occurred. Data I
could see in files before, I cannot see now until I select the cell and look
at the formula bar. I have had others open the files I am having issues with
and there is no problem on their end.

Does this mean you can't see the cells in the window below the formulabar?

If yes, then try:
window|arrange|tiled
and then you can resize that window the way you want.

If no, maybe you could be more descriptive.

When some of my Office 2003 excel files are opened I can only see the data if
I select the cell and view the data in the data entry field at the top of the
worksheet.

How do I resolve this issue? I tried doing a repair several times and that
didn't work. I am trying to avoid uninstalling Office and reinstalling.

Thanks in advanced for your help.
