Worksheet Name???

[Stephen M. Wallace]

Hello,

I am using Max OSX 10.2.8 and Office vX.

My worksheet names at the bottom of my workbooks keep on disappearing. If I
double-click on it then it appears but then it thinks I want to change the
name of the worksheet. After clicking outside of the tab, it goes back to
being blank again. It was working and then it stopped again. Any ideas???

Thanks.

Make sure you've applied the updates found at

Mactopia downloads:
http://www.microsoft.com/mac/download/default.asp

and repair disk permissions after update:

OS 10.2.x: Run the Disk Utility (in the ./Applications/Utilities
folder). From the First Aid tab, click "Repair Disk Permissions".

I updated the files using the updater and ran the Repair permissions utility
and I still have my names missing on the tabs. This is really weird. Any
other ideas?

Thanks.

Hi,

If you ran the updates this problem should have gone away. Do you see the
proper text when you double0click a sheet tab? If yes, there may be some
corruption of the workbook.

There was a problem where the sheet tab font would change color
spontaneously before the Excel update. The thing JE and I are thinking is
that the sheet tab font may have turned to white. But this was fixed by the
updates. So if you are still experiencing this try copying the worksheets to
a new workbook.

I am still having the white worksheet tab issue. I've reinstalled the
program, I have the most up-to-date versions, I've deleted preferences, I've
created new workbooks/sheets, the problem still persists...

Any ideas?

Thanks

Open Excel
Create a new workbook
Can you see the tab names?

If you have a corrupt worksheet and open it, all subsequent sheets (even new
ones) will have white or light colored names so they appear to be invisble.

You need to copy the data and trash the workbook. Paste into a new workbook and
restart Excel.

At least that's what I had to do some months back with a nearly identical
problem.
