I have been having a problem with Excel now for a year and nobody seems to know how to fix it. My preferences are set to show grid lines in black or any color of choice and yet when I open a new document in Page Layout View there are no gridlines on the first page but they appear of subsequent pages until I click on a subsequent page and then the first page will show grid lines but if I click on a cell the grid lines disappear.
It never used to do this and I do not know how to correct it.

regards,

that doesn't seem right. But thanks for the tip - I'll check it out and
see what
mode I'm in!

You know Roger I updated to Office 2004 when I transferred to
OS X and I don't like the layout in Excel. I always look for old Exel files, copy them and delete the data. Its the little boxes I don't like
in the new Excel which seem to restrict how you use the program -
am I alone in this ?

In Excel 2004, perhaps you are not liking the default view, which is Page Layout view. If you have some Excel sheets that look fine to you, then you
make any Excel sheet mimic it.

Try switching to Normal view

View -> Normal

...and then increase your magnification above 100%. Magnification is set
by...

View ->  [set a %]

Or use the Zoom tool on the toolbar. It is usually on the right side, just
before the ? tool.

You may also increase both the width and height of any row or column.

I am looking at an Excel sheet that has giant cells.
