Transitioning from Mac to PC. Have Office 2003.
When I 2-click an Excel file in My Documents, Excel opens as a blank page. I
then have to do FILE > OPEN to navigate to the file.
Is this normal?

Hi
try the following:
goto 'Tools-Options-General " and uncheck "Ignore other Applications"
Exit Excel and try again

If this doesn't work try to re-register Excel

1. Close Excel first and
2. On the Windows Taskbar
2.1 Start>Run "excel.exe /unregserver"(no quotes)>OK.
2.2 Start>Run "excel.exe /regserver"(no quotes)>OK.
