I had it working perfectly and then I somehow lost it. Every time I click on full screen it takes away all the junk off the top of the screen which is what I like. However when I put the excel screen to a small half screen so I can multi-task other work it goes back to normal screen, putting all the junk back up there again. I had it working all day where the full screen mode was working perfectly while I had it minimized to a half screen view. How do I get it back to that position?

Are you confusing FULL SCREEN with MAXIMIZE?
