When I am working on a worksheet in Excel and I maximize the window, the status bar at the bottom of the worksheet window disappears. I have tried every solution I could find including fixing Office, reinstalling office, Creating a new spreadsheet to see if the problem is specific to the spreadsheet. (It isn't). I know this was working not all that long ago because I like to highlight cells with numbers to get the sum so I can compare to formula results. Suddenly I can't.
Has anyone seen this and been able to fix it?
Thank you.
A family of Microsoft spreadsheet software with tools for analyzing, charting, and communicating data.
Please share a screenshot showing the entire maximized Excel window, whether the Windows taskbar is set to automatically hide.
In the meantime, press Alt + Space, select Restore, and afterward use Alt + Space > Maximize.
I figured it out but can't find the setting I changed. It had to do with the size of application windows. I had to change the setting to adjust automatically depending on the application. Of course now I cannot find where I located this option. Sorry. At least I fixed it.
Glad to hear that, have a great day!
