Hi, Al: Saving all open files saves some size and screen-position settings that may retain the off-screen location. Is it possible that you did one or more of the following operations that could strand your file off the visible screen:
* Switched from a physical or virtual multiple-monitor setup to a single-monitor? * Changed screen resolution from high to a lower one? * Resized the sheet or book window to a small size? * Moved the sheet or book window close to a screen edge? * Worked in Maximize view, reduced the size of the Excel's application window, saved all open files and books, and closed Excel? * Worked under a different user name? Opening Excel after doing one or a combination of these operations could park the files off the visible screen. Have you looked at the Window menu to see if any file is active? Some possible fixes for the above: * Log in to all possible accounts and launch the file from each. * Increase the screen resolution to the maximum, to reveal everything that might be on screen. * Maximize the Excel application window. * Reconnect the multiple monitors, or restore the virtual multiple screens. * If the Window menu indicates a file is active, but you can't see it, Maximize the Excel window, with the keystroke combination Alt+-(minus) to open the document's Control menu, then scroll to Move, press Enter, and use the arrow keys to move the selected off-screen document on screen. If Move is grayed out, but Restore is active, select Restore and press enter to restore the document window to its former smaller size, then repeat the attempt with Move. If Alt+-(minus) doesn't work, no file is active.
