SYMPTOMS
In Microsoft Excel activating a workbook by selecting it from the Window menu will not restore the workbook's window if the workbook is already the active workbook and it is minimized (when you select the Window menu, the active workbook will have a check mark next to it).
This behavior is different from Microsoft Excel version 4.0.
WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, do either of the following:
- Double click the workbook's icon or press the ENTER key to restore the window for that workbook. If you need to select the workbook using the keyboard, press the F6 key until the workbook is selected. (If you want to maximize the workbook, press CTRL+F10.) -or-
- Activate any other workbook first.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the versions of Microsoft Excel listed above. We are researching this problem and will post new information here as it becomes available.
