Jim,
I see the set up. And why Carl had trouble..

So you are saying menu items disappear at certain resolutions ?

Not exactly although I think you could have gotten that impression from
what
Carl wrote. With the ribbon all commands on it are usually there, but how
big they are and whether they are labeled depends on how much room Excel
has
to work with. The ribbon resizes controls in a predetermined way as you
make the Excel window bigger or smaller.

I've attached 3 JPGs. In BigXL.JPG you see all of the leftmost 6 controls
of the Window group of the View tab. All 6 are labeled but the first 3
are
large and the next 3 are small. (The Unhide button is the one Carl was
looking for). This is with Excel maximized on a monitor with 1920x1200
resolution so I think the second three never get large.

In SmallXL.JPG I've made the Excel window smaller and you can see that the
left 3 controls are still labeled but now of the small size. And the
second
3 are still small but now unlabeled. I think this is what Carl was
looking
at and just didn't see the second 3 as separate controls from the first 3.

In TinyXL.JPG you see that with Excel small enough the entire Window group
shrinks down to a single dropdown.

I left out one stage where all 6 are small and labeled.

I don't have Office2007. So you are saying menu items disappear at

| If you haven't maximized Excel do so now. Unless you have a pretty
low
| screen resolution you should see that the three buttons to the
right
of
| New
| Window, Arrange All and Freeze Panes now have captions - Split,
Hide,
| Unhide.

| Jim:
|
| You are right!! Due to aging eyes, I have always used 800 x 600 and
those
| buttons are not shown at that resolution, but pop up at higher
resolution.
|
| I have never seen such behavior in all my computing years and am now
| wondering what other commands in Excel and other apps I have not
seen.
|
| I don't think I can stick with higher resolutions, but I will try to
see
if
| I can get by using the magnification slider in the lower right
corner,
at
| least for Excel.
|
| Thanks again.
