I'm getting the same problem. I was able to create a new spreadsheet using
Excel 2007, but when I tried to open a spreadsheet created with Excel 2003,
Excel opens exactly as you describe.
It concerns me that this has been open for more than a month and there has
been no resolution. Please advise.
Additional Information:
It's a very odd window too. It doesn't have the standard title bar across
the top, and I can't grab the window and move it around. I can only resize
it.
The only action I can take is to right-click the top bar. This brings up a
menu called "Customize Status Bar". This contains 22 options that can be
selected or unselected:
Cell Mode
Signatures
Information Management Policy
Permissions
Caps Lock
Num Lock
Scroll Lock
Fixed Decimal
Overtype Mode
