Apologies if this is not the correct forum for this problem.  While no
a new Excel user, I am new to OF.

Recently I downloaded an Excel file with a list of DTV converters. Thi
file opened up with a band on the left side (left of the row numbers
that had two plus signs on it. Clicking on the top one did the sam
thing as Page Down would do, and clicking on the plus sign below it di
the same thing as two Page Downs. This has not shown up in any othe
Excel file.

On the other hand, the Active Title Bar(?)(the one on top with th
three little boxes on the right hand corner for minimize and exit) ha
disappeared completely regardless of which file I open. This is a rea
pain because there is no way to minimize the Excel screen from its ful
size.

Would any of you have any idea about either of these two things. Than
you, muchl

Not sure about the band on the left, but
for the Active Tile Bar, it sounds like you are in Full Screen mode,
so, on the Toolbar > View > Full Screen.

Hi,

It sounds like you are in Outline mode, either because someone has choosen
Data, Group and Outline or because someone has choosen the command Data,
Subtotals.  You can turn off Outline Symbols by choosing Tools, Options,
View, and Uncheck Outline symbols.

The band on the left means you're in Data>Group and Outline mode.

The missing icons on the Title Bar on ALL workbooks could be due to GroupWise
being enabled.

If that's the problem. See this MSKB article

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;260199 

Article is specific for 2000 but I think it is valid for other versions.

It gives a workaround (use the file menu) and instructions as to how to remove
the Groupwise add-in that is responsible for this behavior.
