Default Can't maximize a workbook


I tried to open a workbook on my office computer - has a 19 inch
monitor. I created the workbook at home with a wide inch lcd display -
display 1680 x 1040.

When I open the file on my office computer - the top of the workbook is
hidden behind the toolbars - so i can't get at it and maximize it. I
tried everything I could think of - zoom; adjust the screen resolution
in windows - all to no avail.

Anybody got any ideas?

Thanks

Richard

If you're able to see the command menu, then you can click on the little spreadsheet icon directly
to the left of the word "File".
That contains Restore, maximize, Minimize, etc.

Another way...

With excel the active application
Hit alt-spacebar
then hit the m key (m for move)
Use the arrow keys to try to move the window so you can see the title bar.

Hit return when you find a nice location.

==
alt-spacebar gets to that same dropdown that ScottO mentioned.
