View Problem Excel 2003

[hplimpton]

Long time Excel user running under XP, new issue have not see
previously. A worksheet created by remote user cannot be displayed o
my machine, but can with other systems in the office. The only way th
file can be viewed is with full screen view, otherwise only gra
content below toolbar displays. Other spreadsheets display normally
Have run out of ideas on how to diagnose the problem. Suspect a simpl
explanation I am overlooking. Appreciate an
suggestions....thanks....Ha

I'd guess that after you open the workbook, the window for the worksheet is off
the visible screen.

I'd try:
Window|arrange|tiled
and resize it the way you want.

View/Normal might fix it

It seems to happen when their are multiple users and one of the users likes to
have less than a full window inside excel--and it seems to happen when that user
is on a laptop and the other user is on a desktop--just a difference in display
characteristics.
