spread sheet blank

[Portia]

I sent an attached excel spreadsheet to several employee.
They were able to open it fine. When they entered/updated
the information and sent it back to me and the other
employees, they can open it but when I tried to open the
file, I get a blank page.

I saved the attachment to the HD and still cannot open
it. I forwarded the file to another employee and the
person can open it fine.

O/S Window XP office XP
I can open other email attached excel files fine - except
that particular file. - I like I said others can open it
file.

Any clue?

I have updated office/ reinstalled as well.
I have checked/unchecked the option - ignore other
application according to Q290852

Maybe it's just off the visible screen:
Window|Arrange|tiled (and resize manually)

How did you try to open the file after you saved to your HD? Doubleclicking or
File|open.

If file|Open works, but doubleclicking doesn't, you may want to try one of
these:

Close Excel and
Windows Start Button|Run
excel /unregserver
then
Windows Start Button|Run
excel /regserver

The /unregserver & /regserver stuff resets the windows registry to excel's
factory defaults.

An alternative might be to do:
Try Tools|Options|General|Ignore other applications (uncheck it)
