Invisible Excel sheet

[Kevin Lane]

Hi

Very strange one for you. I have an Excel 2000 sheet. I can open it fine. I
pass the same sheet via email and floppy disc to a colleague. When he opens
the file, the file apparently opens, but it is totally invisible. When you
try to reopen the file (without having closed down the file, because it
looks like nothing has been opened, it says that the file is already open.
You can navigate around this invisible file (you can see the cell reference
change as you move the arrow buttons.

We have:

Checked that the sheet is not hidden
Checked that the window is not hidden.
Re-installed Office.

Any suggestions?

Regards

Kevin Lane

File may have become corrupted due to being opened on the floppy instead of
copying to the HD and then opening.

Does one of you use a laptop and the other a desktop (or even pc's with
different display settings)?

If yes, try Window|Arrange|Tiled

Maybe it's open, just off screen.

(If printPreview works, I'm betting this was it.)
