Hello

When I try to open an Excel file by double clicking on it, it does not
show up. When I click on the restore/ maximise 'box' icon, it appears.
In other words, it does not come into view unless I click maximise.

I am using Excel 2007.

Any ideas?

World's most reported Excel 2007 problem. If you haven't gotten SP1 get it
and let us know if it fixes it. I've gotten it but then I didn't have the
problem.

For the record, SP1 hasn't fixed this problem. I have found if you do a
right-click on the empty screen and then a left-click, the workbook will
display.

Hi Saeed,

You can try a popular Excel file recovery tool called Advanced Excel

corrupt or damaged Excel files.

We tried SP1 as well, and that has not fixed the problem either. The website
"http://www.datanumen.com/aer/" doesn't say it is compatable with Office
2007.

I have searched numerous forums, and no one has found a fix for it yet. We
are hoping Microsoft comes out with another service pack or fix soon. We
have multiple issues with Excel 2007.
