Pop-up windows in Excel

C

Connie

Hi there,
I'm using Windows 2000 Professional and Excel 2000
(9.0.7616 SP-3). I only see this problem in Excel, as
opposed to Word and PowerPoint, however, it may be a
Windows problem, not particularly Excel. I don't know.
Anyway, this is the problem. The pop-up window in Excel
for Format/Cells has two rows of tabs: Borders, Pattern,
Protection on one row, and Number, Alignment and Font on
another row. Only one row of tabs is completely visible.
The other row, you can only see the top edges of the tabs--
-enough to tell you there's another row of tabs, but you
can't read what's on the tabs. You can click on them, if
you position the pointer right on the wee bit of visible
edge. But, get this....in Tools/Options there are two
rows of tabs and they are all completely visible. Also,
Tools/AutoCorrect... pop-up window, the Exceptions button
to the right is only partially visible because the pop-up
window is not wide enough. What is causing these
pecularities?

That's your problem, not that the top row is cut off. This dialog has only
one row in Excel 2000 and every version before and since that I've seen.
I'd guess it's a Window display setting but I played around a bit and didn't
find one that resulted in two rows. Interesting<g>.

The fact that it has or hasn't two rows of tabs isn't the
problem. The problem is that SINCE mine is in two rows, I
can only see one. So, in your Excel 2000, the six tabs
are on one row? Connie

That did it. Thanks!

I think I answered that question. I didn't doubt that you had 2 rows but
thanks for the picture. Maybe it has something to do with your Windows
font? Can you pick a smaller DPI setting under Control Panel, Display
Settings, Advanced, General?
