How do I enlarge the spreadsheet that has no sizing handles?

I opened a read-only copy of an Excel spreadsheet. It opened at a quarter
size of the screen. The only help available says to enlarge by using the
sizing handles. When I go to the sides or corner, the sizing handles DO NOT
show up. Please help. TIA.

You could click on the maximise button for the sheet window or use
Window | Arrange to see if this has any effect.

Hope this helps.

Quite possible Workbook Protection is enabled with Windows option checked.

Go to Tools>Protection>Unprotect Workbook.

You may have to supply a password if this is the case.
