When I open Excel files, they are completely blank. There are no row or column headers, and I don't see any Workbook tabs at the bottom of the screen. But I know the data is there because when I click on various areas of the blank screen, I can see information in the formula bar. The only solution I've come up with is to select View, Arrange All, and then select "Ok" under the Arrange Windows screen. My data miraculously appears, and everything works fine thereafter.

What causes my data to be "invisible" to begin with, and is there a better solution for this problem?

I did a little experiment:

Scenario 1: I launch Excel and open Spreadsheet A. It's blank (my current problem).
Scenario 2: I launch Excel and open a blank spreadsheet. THEN I open Spreadsheet A, and it's now visible and working fine.


Thanks
