Pop-up Windows

[Connie]

Hi there, I posted this question in Excel but no one
answered because it's likely a Windows issue.
I'm using Windows 2000 Professional. I only see this
problem in Excel 2000(9.0.7616 SP-3), as opposed to Word
and PowerPoint, however, it may be a Windows problem, not
particularly Excel. I don't know. Anyway, this is the
problem. The pop-up window in Excel for Format/Cells has
two rows of tabs: Borders, Pattern, Protection on one
row, and Number, Alignment and Font on another row. Only
one row of tabs is completely visible. The other row, you
can only see the top edges of the tabs---enough to tell
you there's another row of tabs, but you can't read what's
on the tabs. You can click on them, if you position the
pointer right on the wee bit of visible edge. But, get
this....in Tools/Options there are two rows of tabs and
they are all completely visible. Also,
Tools/AutoCorrect... pop-up window, the Exceptions button
to the right is only partially visible because the pop-up
window is not wide enough. What is causing these
pecularities?

Sounds like the DPI setting has been increased from 96 to ???

Right-click a blank area of the desktop and press Properties.
Press Advanced on the Settings tab.
