auto hide toolbar in Excel won't work
I have the toolbar at the bottom of the screen set to 'autohide' but when I'm
in Excel sometimes it does 'hide' until the cursor is moved over it, but mostly it won't autohide so that I cannot see the Sheet names at the bottom of the screen. I am running Windows XP Home and Microsoft Office Professional 2003. Can anyone help please? -- teecee8 |

Hi
Every time you move your cursor too far into the bottom area, the toolbar will pop up. Normally it disappears when you move your cursor up again. If it does not, try clicking on you spreadsheet. If you right click on the toolbar, and you do have the option available to "Lock Toolbar", make sure that is unticked. -- ve_2nd_at.

You could reposition the toolbar to the side or top of the screen if it insists on showing itself sometimes. Right click on a plain section of the toolbar and drag it to the desired side of the screen.

If you turn that auto-hide off, you'll always be able to see it (to swap between
applications quicker) and your mousing won't ever make it pop up to cover any application window.

Hi, I've tried clicking on a cell in the spreadsheet, but this makes no
difference. The thing is that I WANT to have the auto-hide action happening because it then allows me to see the tabs/sheet names for easy navigation amongst them. I've also ensured that the toolbar is NOT locked. The annoying thing is that with some Excel files that I've saved, the auto-hide function works without problem, but on others it doesn't, making it very frustrating. Maybe Microsoft has a patch or something that may address this problem ?? I can't find anything relevant. Any further ideas? -- teecee8 "Kassie" wrote: Hi Every time you move your cursor too far into the bottom area, the toolbar will pop up. Normally it disappears when you move your cursor up again.

thanks anyway, but I really don't want the toolbar on the side, I've got
other things happening there. My problem is NOT that the" toolbar insists on showing itself sometimes ", it's that it won't disappear when it should - it just remains static (covering up the sheet names) -- teecee8 "y_not" wrote: You could reposition the toolbar to the side or top of the screen if it insists on showing itself sometimes.
