Default Excel Format cell window Wrapping


After the latest update my right click format Cell Window displays the first
two Tabs Pattern and Protection and the remaining tabs are hidden underneath
the category and Sample TEXT. I can still click the very top edge of the
remaining TABS but they are not visible to read. It looks as if the Format
Cell window is Text wrapping and placing the remaining Tabs on the next line.
I cannot resize the window and the problem remains if I repair or uninstall
the Excel program. I am running at 1600 x 1200 Resolution on a Dell laptop.
The problem seems exclusive to Excel.
Without uninstalling the whole of Office anyone any ideas how I might
correct this problem. Thanks.

If you run at a lower resolution does the problem go away?
Which version of Excel?
Do you have the option to use Large Fonts selected in Control Panel?
- Does it make a difference if you change that?

Hi Bill,
Thanks for the reply,
Running at resolution down to 800x600 gives the same problem.
Changed font from normal to Large and tried that WORKED.
Changed back to normal font and all is well.

Thanks,
Problem solved
