Opening file question

When opening a file direct from my documents excel opens
but the sheet does not get displayed. Although if you then
click print preview the content of the sheet is there.
Tried opening excel and then opening file and this works
fine. Not a major problem but annoying.

Any one shed any light?

Cheers,
Ash.
 
I think xl is trying to help you.

Excel wants to keep the window settings the same way as they were previously.

If you saved your workbook in less than a full window, then the next time you
open it (via double clicking with no existing xl instance running), it will open
it the same window--not full screen.

If you saved as a full window, then under those same conditions, you'll get full
screen.

But if excel is already running, it'll open (file|open) the workbook to match
what you're currently doing.

If you're in full screen mode, you'll get full screen--if you're in less than
full screen, you'll get a window.

And coincidentally, you're being hit by having the window open off the visible
screen.

The easiest thing to do no matter what you get is to set it the way you want
after opening.

Window|Arrange|Tiled
and resize the way you want it.
