If you cannot see the file in the file list, check to see that you have the
correct file extention (xls) and that the "file of type" box is correct.
Also, if you cannot see it in the file/open list, perhaps you inadvertently
saved it without a file extention.
If you see the file in the list and nothing appears when you try to open it,
check and make sure the workbook is not hidden. See Window/hide or unhide on
the menu bar.
