Some Options are sheet only, some are window only, some are saved with the
workbook and some are saved/written to the Registry

if u go to tools, customize
then add remove menus with tick box also as long as the line is blue you can
hit the reset button

as far as sheet tabs scroll bars and most of the things in the sheet this is
in tools, option, tab view. in veiw all but
none, comment & indicator
show placeholders, hide all
page breaks, formulas
should be ticked
most of these setting are saved with the sheet so u would have to do it to
all the sheets that u need it back on

We are having some problems at work where some of our users are going into
the Excel options settings and changing them as they are experimenting. Is
there anyway to reset the settings to the original settings?
any help would be appreciated!
Thanks!
