MS Excel 2007 - opening documents

hicountry · 07-31-2009, 09:28 AM

When I open an Excel document.
I double click the document icon like normal...Excel launches without the spreadsheet loading. I have to minimize the program and maximize again to get the spreadsheet to load within the program. Has anyone else had this issue? Is there a setting I need to change to get the spreadsheet to appear automatically like it is supposed to do?

Hi hicountry,

Have you tried repairing Office (Excel Options|Resources|Diagnose)?

I ran it this morning (sorry for the late response...is my work pc and I opted to stay off of it this weekend)

Everything came up "ok". no problems were found per the diagnostic program.

Hi hicountry,

OK, but did it fix the problem?

No it did not...I am still having the issue.

I thought that it may have to do with two versions of MS Office on my computer...so I removed the one that had fewer features...and I am still having the issue. It is not a horrible glitch...but I wanted to makes sure it wasn't indicative of virus or something like that.
