Title bar is missing maximize, minimize, close

[Guest]

It is possible to manipulate the workbook, but not the Excel application. If
I open an Excel file and close it the application will not automatically
close with it and will not display the X button. So the only way to close it
would be through alt F4 or Task Manager - End Task, which is annoying.
What can I do to restore the display of Max, Min and Close options on the
application level.

Thank you,
Zoya

Hi Zoya,

A few questions and suggestions. mainly clutching at straws but these need
to be eliminated as the source of the problem

Firstly what version of xl are you using?

Are you not able to see any of the title bar or just the Minimize, Restore
and Close buttons missing from the title bar?

If entire title bar is missing, do you have the Microsoft Office toolbar at
the top of your screen and it is hiding the title bar of the application? I
have had this occur intermittently in the past through some glitch in the
system and I have closed it altogether.

Does the problem occur with other applications? If so, and you are using the
old style CRT monitor, try adjusting the monitor controls for the screen
size. It might be sitting off the screen.

Thank you OssieMac,

This problem does not occur with any other applications.

Hope this helps you to help me.

Hi Zoya,

I can't think of anything else and I don't have your version of xl to test
anything. In xl2002 you can right click on the title bar and close from
there. I know that doesn't fix your problem but it might be better than
nothing if it works.

Sorry but can't offer any more suggestions.
