    Tabs do not appear in window-can't shift to other sheets in workbook

    I created an Excel spreadsheet on a Mac book and transferred the document to a PC. I am unable to move from one sheet to another within the workbook because the tabs do not appear at the bottom of the window in the PC.

    Can you select the View Ribbon and choose to show tabs?

    Thank you so much. The View box in my drop down menu does not provide the option to "show tabs" What is the View Ribbon?

    Not got a PC handy at the moment but, you normally start with the "home" ribbon that has things like formatting. But you should see other options like Insert and View, amongst others. Can you see those options?

    I am using a 2003 version of MS Word on my PC. It does show Insert, Format, View etc. on the menu at the top but none of the drop down menu buttons allow me to view the tabs.

    Ah, I did not notice that in your profile. Unfortunately, I cannot remember what the menus look like on 2003. I'll ask around.

    Thanks. I went to the options/view window but the sheet/tabs was already checked. I tried unchecking it and checking it again, but it didn't work. I think it must be an incompatibility issue between Mac and PC.

    Hi Robyn


    Didn't realize we were dealing with the Mac.

    I have 2011 for the Mac. If you'll upload your File I'll be happy to look at it.
