Re: open an excel 2007 file

Ps. I was guessing that you were opening the file by doubleclicking on it (on
the desktop).

If you were already going through the dialogs, then ignore my response.

Can you open excel, then use ctrl-o (file|open in the old menus) to open your
file?

If yes...

You are suffering from a common problem that lots of people have complained
about. The workbook is open, just not visible.

One way to see it is to click on the Office button and start to open another
workbook, but then just dismiss the dialog. You may see your workbook open
after this. (Ctrl-O, then escape may work???)

Currently, there isn't a fix--just workarounds.

Hi,
I'm having problems opening a file.
I've installed Office 2007 (original) on WinXp Pro (original) and when
a file is created under Excel (using some data in cells) and saved
i.e. on desktop, when this file is re-opened appears only the Excel
program, without cells and data.
I've also tried the restore procedure but ti's the same.
Office 2007 has been registered and actived.
Where is the problem?

Thank you very much.
