Weird Excel Issue

By Scott

It has been a while since I told you what’s wrong with Office 2007. Unfortunately, I am getting used to Word, Excel and Access (the only three applications I use at work). Access is the most difficult to get used to as it has the most items that work better… and worse. It is really different.

But this is about a very weird issue with Excel. Everytime I open a spreadsheet by double clicking it Excel will startup… and just sit there. It will sit there blank… until I click on any other open window, giving the focus to another application. At that point the spreadsheet pops right into view.

How weird is that?!?

    found your two+ entries at the top of a Google search using string
    “Office 2007″ title bar focus color..
    and you pegged in May08 exactly what my experience is with all Office Apps and Excel (clicking on *.xlsx file does not open file).
    So after 9-10 months, no solution has percolated to the top of your blog?
    We’ve just been forced to upgrade and have double our IT staff … when/if I find an answer I’ll let you know.
