Please forgive the ignorant question but when I open an Excel 2007 document all I see within the document is a blue screen and not data previously created. Thanks for your help Hi mike Is this with one workbook Mike or with more files?

Thanks for your help Hi Ron Thankyou for responding. It applies when I open either a new or an existing Excel spreadsheet. Once opened all I see is a clear blue screen with no content. The problem is probably down to me but I can't see how. Thanks Mike > Hi mike > [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > > all I see within the document is a blue screen and not data previously > > created. Thanks for your help There are a few reports of a problem like this do you see something like "Preview: page 187..........." on the bottem of the screen and on top of the screen on the left "Ready" Let me know if you see this or not SignatureRegards Ron de Bruin http://www.rondebruin.nl/tips.htm > Hi Ron > [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] >> > all I see within the document is a blue screen and not data previously >> > created. Thanks for your help .Ron I have just opened an Excel spreadsheet and it opens correctly, however, I note that the three page layout options (normal, page layout, page break) and the Zoom option are at the bottom of the page wheras when I have the problem they are at the top. I have just closed the document and reopened and I have the problem again. It's as if the page is inverted and inside out but with only the page layout functions showing at the top. > There are a few reports of a problem like this > [quoted text clipped - 20 lines] > >> > all I see within the document is a blue screen and not data previously > >> > created. Thanks for your help Hi Mike Ok, this is the same bug a few others have. This is a known problem and Microsoft is working on a solution. If you start Excel in Safe mode is it working OK for you then ? Close Excel first Hold the Ctrl key when you open Excel Say Yes in the dialog Now open a workbook SignatureRegards Ron de Bruin http://www.rondebruin.nl/tips.htm > .Ron > [quoted text clipped - 30 lines] >> >> > all I see within the document is a blue screen and not data previously >> >> > created. Thanks for your help Ron Thankyou I do not have to go into Safe mode only hold down the Ctrl Key and open the document. If I have any further problems with this I will let you know Thanks once again for your invaluable help.

Thanks for your help Ron I am having the same problem as Mike When ever I open excel or double click on an excel file I get the blue screen with ready in the top left. Do I have to hold down the ctrl button and open excel everytime I want to open excel or an excel file? Aron > Hi Mike > [quoted text clipped - 42 lines] > >> >> > all I see within the document is a blue screen and not data previously > >> >> > created. Thanks for your help Aron If Excel will not open then you have to hold down the control button and then open excel.

Thanks for your help Thanks for your response. You mean I have to do this everytime? Thanks Microsoft for making my life easier.

Thanks for your help Is there a fix for this problem yet? I just got Office 2007 and not being able to open my Excel documents is pretty annoying. I'm into efficiency and opening the program prior to finding the file is not as efficient as being able to double click and open the file I need. Please advise about the availability of a hot fix. > Hi Mike > [quoted text clipped - 42 lines] > >> >> > all I see within the document is a blue screen and not data previously > >> >> > created.
