TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
Problem was solved several days ago and the solution listed. It turns out
that one of my spreadsheets (but not all of them) had Tool=>general=>Ignore

loaded, and unchecked in most of the spreadsheets that I reviewed. How one
unloaded file could affect the others is beyond me, but it did.

Does the file show up in the list of open windows?
It is possible that the file window is open in Excel, but it is not

Try the Window menu.
