where did my file go?

[erniepoe]

Hi all,

I know this is a stupid question, but i'm at my wits end. i had a couple files open, and then hit a box that looked like a maximize window box, but then the file disappeared and i can only view a gray screen.

i closed excel without saving and reopened, but it still shows only the gray screen when i open that file. i can open other files normally.

any ideas on how i've managed to screw this up, and how i can fix it?

Grey screen of DEATH!!!

You need to drag a Toolbar over to the bottom left hand corner of the screen.
