Excell has shrunk!

New, bumbling, user was trying to create a new spreadsheet, when for no apparent reason, my whole spreadsheet shrunk.  How do I get it back to the original size?  Laptop, Windows 7, Office 2007.

    How to enlarge or reduce the view of an Excel table?

    a) Find the slider in the lower right corner of the Excel window.

    b) Drag the slider to the right to enlarge the table display.

    c) Conversely, you can also reduce the size of the display in order to display a larger data area. In that case, simply drag the slider to the left.

    d) Step by step by 10% up or down it goes with the plus symbol and the minus symbol next to the slider.

     

    Please note that the zoom factor only changes the view on the screen, but not the output on a printer. You can find an additional zoom option for the printout in the printer settings under Windows settings.

     

    I would be happy to know if I could help.

      May I ask one more question?  How do you delete an entire workbook (not a worksheet) in Excel 2007?

       

      Thank you!

        Click the button at the intersection of the row numbers and column letters.

        On the Home tab of the ribbon, in the Cells group, select Format > Hide & Unhide > Unhide Columns.
