Opening Excel
I have Office 2004 for Mac on my Macbook. I recently upgraded to Leopard OS.
Now when I open a new Excel worksheet, it opens with 3 columns and 19 rows. How can I get it back to the normal sheet when it opens? |

Opening Excel
First, you may be interested to know that there's a newsgroup just for
Mac XL: microsoft.public.mac.office.excel Upgrading to Leopard, by itself, should have had zero effect on how a file displays on opening. It could be that you deleted the standard font, so that XL is substituting a font with different metrics. Or you could have changed screen resolutions such that the sheet is limited. You don't say what "normal sheet" means to you, so I don't know what you think it should look like, but the best way to get a consistent view is to create a default workbook. Open a fresh workbook. Size it the way you want, and change formatting to suit your tastes. Save it in XL's Startup folder (by default HD:Applications:Microsoft Office 2004:Office:Startup:Excel: though you can change it in XL's Preferences/General dialog). The file must be saved *as a template* with the name "Workbook" (no quotes, no extension). From then on, the File/New command will use that workbook as a template for your new files.
