Anyone seen this before? I can't move, or maximize the window at all.

I have seen protected books not allow it. That's all I got.

Is it linked to anything else? Copy/Paste into a new file and re-save?

Ok so...it was created in '03. It was formerly protected, but isn't anymore. She noticed it was like this last week, but it didn't actually happen until we upgraded her machine with '07.

We've tried re-protecting it and un-protecting it, but no dice.

Thinking FM or one of those guys can better answer than me, but...

My guess is when it was last saved in 03, it was not maximized. Protected, saved.

Now, opening in 07, it's opening as protected.

Or, I have no idea.

Did you unprotect both the worksheet and the workbook?

I sent this to her via Skype...

3 seconds later I hear this from the other room: "Oh that did it! That's ridiculous...thanks babe"

To which I respond: "Thank weegeebored"

So...my wife thanks you.

sorry, no help on this one. Have never seen anything like that, although I don't have tons of experience with the newer versions of Excel...
