Cannot maximize an existing workbook in the excel main window.

[Jimmy]

I have an existing excel document to which, when opened from file covers half
the main excel window. There is no minimize, maximize or close button a
standard window should have. I cannot double-click the title bar to maximize
the window.

If anyone knows what the problem is or likely to be, I'll definitely like to
hear from you.

Sounds like the Workbook is protected.

Tools>Protection>UnProtect Workbook.

You may have to provide a password.
