I am using Microsoft Office XP Home.
Why has my Excel worksheet changed? Can I return it to its original form? |

No idea what what your problem is other than something doesn't look right to
you. Do you have a Workbook open? Do you have multiple worksheets in that workbook? Do you have multiple views(windows) of one or more of those worksheets? More detail please or a screenshot of the window. BTW...........what is Microsoft Office XP Home? XP Home is a Windows version. Office XP is Office 2002 version.

If you click on Window | Arrange you will be presented with a series
of choices regarding how to arrange your windows within the Excel window - click Horizontal and you will see the windows arranged one above the other to fit your screen resolution. Hope this helps.

I forgot to add - when you can see all windows, you can close unwanted
ones in turn by clicking the Close icon at the top of the sheet window (not the Excel window) until you have only one left, and then click on the Restore icon to maximise this. Save the file, and the next time you open it you will have only one window visible. Hope this helps.

Sounds like your windows are not maximized properly. Try this. Close Excel Go to the Start button on the Windows Taskbar........lower left end and hit that button. Select Run and type in excel.exe then "Run" This should open Excel with no workbook. Hit the Maximize button on the title bar at top. Now FileOpen and pick a file to open. Maximize it also if not maximized. As to the other stuff..................you can make a screen shot by hitting PrtScrn and pasting into MS Paint or similar then saving as a *.jpg file and posting that file. Sorry, I forgot there was a Microsoft Office XP Home version MS Office XP is also known as MS Office 2002.

Thank you - you came up with the answer. I still don't know how my excel got
into in that situation, but you figured it out. Now, if only I will remember the solution, if that happens again. Thank you - thank you - Thank you!!!

Thanks for the feedback.
Sometimes we guess correctly. I sent you the long way 'round through the StartRun just in case but you could probably have done it from your original view of Excel Window and the worksheet.
