MORE INFORMATION

In Microsoft Excel when a file is open, the window will appear in one of two states:

   In this state    The window occupies this portion of the screen
   -------------------------------------------------------------------
   Maximized        The entire application window. The filename appears
                    in the title bar as "Microsoft Excel - BOOK1.XLS."
 
   Restored         Some portion smaller than the entire application>
                    window. The filename appears as "BOOK1.XLS."
				

Note also that if one file's window is maximized, all of the other open windows are also maximized. If you open another file, its window will also be maximized.

If a file opens in a maximized view, you can restore it by choosing Restore from the document control menu or by pressing CTRL+F5. The window will return to its last saved size.

If a file opens restored but should open maximized, maximize the window by choosing Maximize from the Document control menu or by pressing CTRL+F10. The window for the file (and all other open windows) will be maximized.

3. Select the Windows check box and click OK.
