I have an excel work book that is minimised but ther are no buttons in the top right corner how do i fix this?

1. You can maximize by double clicking its title bar.

2. You can maximize by clicking the left-hand icon and choosing Maximize

3. You can press Ctrl+F10

1. didnt work

2. that icon isnt there

3 didnt work

 

thanks

Can you grab the title bar and drag the window so the upper right buttons are displayed?

Any/all of the things Shane mentioned should work, so it doesn't sound to me like it's a minimize/maximize issue....

no i cannot. the main excel window is maximised but the actual workbook i am working on is stuck in minimise and it is only the one work book and it has only recently started doing it. i have a screen shot but cant attach it.

 

I take it you can't even see a piece of it because if you can click on even its edge you can put the mouse near the top border and it will change to a two headed arrow and you can resize.  And if you can even touch it the shortcut key I suggest will work.  Ctrl+F10 works even if you can't select the file because if there is only one file open it is selected.

Here is another idea - right click the Windows desktop change the screen resolution to a higher one.  How depends on what version of Windows you are using.  Return to Excel and you should be able to see and size the file.

I may have solved my problem. I hope this will help pezacide. I created a new workbook and followed the instructions for copying a worksheet from one workbook to another. Even though my worksheet was originally only partially viewable, once it was in the new workbook it was completely visible. I have previously created three other workbooks without encountering this problem. But in this case I started with an Excel template. I suspect that's the source of the problem and I wonder if pezacide's problem is also due to using a template.

Thank you.  Solved my problem perfectly.
