Can't close Excel worksheet

L

Loring Hutchinson

I am running Excel 2003, using Win XP (Home Ed). I opened a worksheet
I was working on and when I went to save the file, I went to The FILE
pulldown menu and the SAVE command was greyed out so I could not use
the save command. Then when I went to close Excel using the red X in
the upper right hand cornerit would not work. Went to the FILE
pulldown menu and tried to use the EXIT command, it was greyed out
also. Checking the other pulldown commands it appears that most
commands are greyed out. Wha happened???

Maybe Excel "froze" on you. Did you check the Task Manager to see if it was
still running?

what do you mean by "froze".

I checked the task manager and the particular part of Excel is
running. I can end the task and the excel files goes away. BUT !!!
when I open a new Excel file it comes up and I cannot do anything with
that file All my pulldown menues are greyed out the only way I
canclose the Exzcel file is to use the task manager.

Hi LH,
What happens when you open XL by clicking on an existing XL file?
You may have to re-install XL.
