messed up my excel, files will not open correctly
I was working within excel, and believe that I hid something by mistake. Now
any excel file I try to open just results in a gray page, no spreadsheet, just the background it seems. Please help me asap. Is there a reset to defaults? |

works. "Howie J." wrote: I was working within excel, and believe that I hid something by mistake. Now any excel file I try to open just results in a gray page, no spreadsheet, just the background it seems. Please help me asap. Is there a reset to defaults? |

Well that was a real crappy idea. I wouldn't do this unless you are sure you
know how to retrieve and restore all your email, because it resests your outlook as well. Perhaps I did not check off an option that I should have. Just Beware if you do this. BTW it did fix my excel however. "Howie J." wrote: I have found the "reset to defaults" I am waiting for it to finish, hope it works.

Are you using xl2007?
You may be suffering from a common problem in xl2007 that lots of people have complained about. The workbook is open, just not visible. One way to see it is to click on the Office button and start to open another workbook, but then just dismiss the dialog. You may see your workbook open after this. (Ctrl-O, then escape may work???) Currently, there isn't a fix--just workarounds. ========= I've seen some posts that suggest that turning on the solver addin (or any addin) may remove the problem. I've never experienced the problem, so I never tested if this was a solution. Howie J. wrote: Well that was a real crappy idea.
