Hi Ron
Thankyou for responding. It applies when I open either a new or an existing Excel spreadsheet. Once opened all I see is a clear blue screen with no content. The problem is probably down to me but I can't see how.

..Ron
I have just opened an Excel spreadsheet and it opens correctly, however, I note that the three page layout options (normal, page layout, page break) and the Zoom option are at the bottom of the page wheras when I have the problem they are at the top. I have just closed the document and reopened and I have the problem again. It's as if the page is inverted and inside out but with only the page layout functions showing at the top.

Excel 2007
Is there a fix for this problem yet? I just got Office 2007 and not being
able to open my Excel documents is pretty annoying. I'm into efficiency and opening the program prior to finding the file is not as efficient as being able to double click and open the file I need. Please advise about the availability of a hot fix. "Ron de Bruin" wrote: Hi Mike Ok, this is the same bug a few others have. This is a known problem and Microsoft is working on a solution.

Excel 2007
Hi All,
I just installed the 2007 version and I am having the same problem with Excel. If anyone of you knows how to resolve this problem permanently, please let me know. The Ctrl button does work but I feel that I shouldn't have to do this everytime I open an Excel file. I am now regretting upgrading to 2007. "Kenna" wrote: Is there a fix for this problem yet?
