Horizontal Scroll Bar Missing in Excel

[alexfooty]

Hi

When I view an Excel worksheet using the Full Screen view, my Horizontal Toolbar disappears. In tools - options - view, both the horizontal & vertical scroll bars are ticked. Any ideas ?

Hi

That behaviour is intentional. The idea is to give you as full a view as possible of your spreadsheet.

Is there any way to get it to display in full screen ?

None that I'm aware of, I'm afraid. It's just part of Excel.

Ah Well - thanks anyway

Apparently, the solution is to view at Full Screen, click on View at top left, then click Status Bar. The scroll bar then reappears.

Yes, I can see how that would work. Does that still count as Full Screen though?

By enabling the status bar in full screen I lose about half the height of one row which is negligible and does let me scroll horizontally.

Thanks - useful to know!
