Gray Sheet - Excel 2003
Hi - Someone (who shall remain nameless) saved changes to an excel
spreadsheet but does not know what the changes were. Now when we open the spreadsheet it is just a gray screen. It also show [Group] after the extension. I can see the data if I enter a column/row in the toolbar box, so it appears to be 'behind' the gray screen. I have tried the 'uncheck - Ingnore other applications' that was listed in previous 'gray screen' questions. But no luck. anyone have any ideas? Thanks -- Kate |

Gray Sheet - Excel 2003
[Grouped]
in the titlebar means that multiple sheets are selected. And it sounds like the workbook is opening ok, but just not in the visible range of the sheet window. I'd try Window|Arrange|tiled and resize the way I wanted. Save the workbook when you're done--or you may be doing it again!

Gray Sheet - Excel 2003
Thanks Dave - Gave that a try, but no change.
Also I just noticed that the right side scroll bar has no movement. The bottom scroll bar seems to move me across columns, but the side bar will not move me up and down the rows. Not sure if that means anything. -- Kate "Dave Peterson" wrote: [Grouped] in the titlebar means that multiple sheets are selected.

If you hit file|print preview, do you see your data?
If yes, then try it again. I'm guessing that you did something incorrectly the first time. Kate wrote: Thanks Dave - Gave that a try, but no change.
