Excel docs not opening automatically in 2007

mickey369 · 10-31-2007, 02:56 PM

I'm running Office 2007 and whenever i try to open excel documents sent to me, i have to minimize them so that i can view them. What's the deal?? I assume it has something to do with 2007 opening docs created in previous versions...Anyway, any help would be appreciated.

What version(s) are they created in?
What are you seeing if you do not minimize? Can you give a screen shot?

mickey369,
Did you get this resolved? I have just installed Office 2007 and am having the same issue. I either have to minimize, maximize, or press the office circle in the corner for the excel doc to open so i can view it. This is only happening in Excel. All other office products are working fine. I even uninstalled and reinstalled, ran all updates for OS and Office and still getting the same thing. This is happening on MS server 2003 machine.
