Previously saved workbooks whose tops butted up to the bottom of the lowest
toolbar up to the past few weeks, now open out of position partially hidden
underneath the toolbars. I've been using Office 2004 since May 2004 and
the problem only started in Feb. 2005. But I do recall this happening
once long ago in Office X, so I can't blame it on OS 10.3.8.
WORKAROUNDS:
1. PREVIOUSLY SAVED WORKBOOK: Once I re-position such a workbook and save
it anew, from then on it will open butted up to the bottom of the lowest
toolbar.
2. CREATING NEW WORKBOOKS: I solved the problem of brand new "Workbook 1"
files opening partially hidden by the toolbars by re-positioning one and
saving it as a template named "Workbook" in the Applications/Microsoft
Office 2004/Office/Startup/Excel folder.
PRIORITY #1: PREVENTION
1. How can I prevent this "forgetting" of properly saved position under
toolbars from happening again to all previously saved workbooks?
2. Could a utility program that cleans caches have caused this to happen to
all saved workbooks as well as newly created ones?
3. Could DiskWarrior 3.0.2 or TechTool Pro 4.0.3 rebuilding of directory
structure be a likely causal agent?
PRIORITY 2: BETTER WORKAROUND
Aside from the workaround of re-positioning and then re-saving each of the
older Excel 2004 and Excel X files that I have not fixed in the past couple
weeks, is there a simpler way of making sure that all of them open as they
were positioned when last saved?
Thanks.
