Macro to display full screen automatically
 

I have an Excel workbook that has several spreadsheets. I am using it as a
presentation so I want it to always display in full screen. Is there a way
to do this?


Thanks in advance.

One way:

Option Explicit
Sub auto_open()
Application.WindowState = xlMaximized
ActiveWindow.WindowState = xlMaximized
'Application.DisplayFullScreen = True
End Sub

I'm not sure if you want that 3rd one. It's the equivalent of View|Full Screen.

I right-clicked on the first tab in workbook and put in the below code in The
Workbook. However, the screen still does not go to Full Screen. I would
like the entire screen to appear just as if I would have pressed View Full
Screen.

Thanks for your help.

This code should go in a general module--not behind a worksheet and not behind
ThisWorkbook.

Uncomment that last line and then save and close the workbook.

Then reopen it to test it out.

(Don't forget to clean up that stuff you put in the worksheet module.)
