Re-sizing Excel Help Screen

D

Dave

I did something that causes my excel help function to
occupy 1/2 of the screen from top to bottom and I don't
know how to get it back to its usual size.

I can change the width of the screen but I can't seem to
change the height. There does not appear to be any
handles showing up at the top or bottom or even corner to
allow me to bring the screen back down to a smaller size
heightwise.

Can anybody help?

Dave,

Not absolutely sure, but if it is Excel 2000, it might be this problem that
Chip Pearson helped me with. I re-print Chip's response

You can fix this "feature" with a registry entry. Run RegEdit, and go to
the key

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\9.0\Common\HelpViewer

If there is a value named "IsFloating", change its value to 1. If there
isn't a value with that name, add a DWORD value named "IsFloating", and give
it a value of 1.

Restart Excel and VBA, and you'll be all set.

Hi Dave,

Glad it worked. I wasn't absolutely sure it was the same problem that I had,
so I took a punt.

Regards

Bob
