My Excel 2000 shows 97 worksheets grey-blank - help!?
 

Having transferred my Excel 97 spreadsheets from my Desktop (Windows Me) to
Excel 2000 on my Laptop (XP), I cannot read them. They appear on my Laptop
screen with File Name (blue top line), Menu Bar and Tool Bar - but the
workspace is totally greyed out blank. Neither 'Compatibility Wizard' nor
'Save As' in all Excel File Format. Any suggestions would be welcome.

I'd try:

Window|Arrange|Tiled

Maybe, the window is just off the visible screen???

Check the properties of the file. it maybe Readonly or Hidden. You may have
"burnt" to CD/DVD when you transferred the files.

Please specifiy how you "transferred" your files.
