Worksheet tabs between 2004 and 2008

[jbob1]

I took a worksheet from a machine running Mac Office 2004 (OS
10.3.9). The worksheet has a tab for every month of the year. I
brought it home and made some changes to it on a machine running
10.5.5 and Mac Office 2008. I saved the file in the Excel 97-2004
format with xls and e-mailed the file back to the individual. Now
he's telling me he can't see the tabs at the bottom of the sheets to
move from one month to the next. What needs to be done to make those
tabs visible?

I was doing some work in another district when they switched to from
Office 2003 to Office 2007 for the PC and gathered that they had
similar problems. Don't know if they solved it or not.

Thanks.

Try Preferences/View, and ensure that the "Sheet tabs" checkbox is
checked.

Or, in addition to John's suggestion, try Windows-Arrange, check windows of
