I have a client that opens a file in excel. We are unable to view the file in
normal view. We can see the file is we go to print preview or full screen
mode. How can i change it to view in normal screen mode?

First try WindowArrange to see if it off-screen.

If no joy try the usual fix for this problem.

ToolsOptionsGeneral Uncheck "Ignore Other Applications"

If no joy with that................

Close Excel first and On the Windows Taskbar

1) StartRun "excel.exe /unregserver"(no quotes)OK.
2) StartRun "excel.exe /regserver"(no quotes)OK.

See the space between exe and /regserver

You might have to designate a full path to excel.exe.

In that case StartRun "C:\yourpath\excel.exe" /regserver(quotes required)OK.
