Quick Excel question.

I've opened a file and the workbook is so big on my screen that I can't scroll down to the bottom and reach the corner of it and resize it. And I can't get to the worksheet tabs and stuff that's on the bottom of the worksheet.

What command do I need to use from the menu to resize my document so the bottom corner is not tantalizingly out of reach?

Wait, so the Excel window itself is off the edge of the screen? If that's the case, you can just maximize the window so at least all of it will be on the screen.

Also, you should be able to resize from anywhere, so you could also pull the top down a bit (if you can) and resize from the top.

Oh yeah. That's one of the few things about Macs that bug me - you can only resize from the bottom right corner on a Mac, but on a PC you can grab any corner or edge.

I'm on a Mac.

But View Full Screen worked.

Counter intuitive since I associate that with embiggening the object viewed, and I wanted it smaller. Like, you know, Video - Half Size.

Anyway, but that did the trick. Thank you.

Cool. 'Cept now I'm wondering - how do you resize a window like Hec's on a Mac if you don't want to maximize it?

eta: Until someone who knows what they're talking about pipes in, my theory is "that's not supposed to happen", and maybe someone else had that Excel file open in a system with a bigger monitor, and it's remembering the size it was last opened to.

"Maximize" on a Mac just means "grow it big". It's not a separate state, like on Windows. So you can push the "Maximize" button, then resize back down to whatever you want.

I've never found a command to move/resize a window by keyboard, though it probably exists.

Google Buzz is a PITA. I am posting a couple of warnings to people here.

1) If you have a public google profile (which I do not), it is possible that all of your contacts will be exposed to the world. Here is an article more about the issue and what to do:

2) If you use google reader, apparently Google Buzz sent an invitation to select people on your gmail contacts list requesting that you follow them. In my case, 2 of the entries on the list were from a friend who died last year, so thanks for dredging up bad memories, Google!

Here is a link to unfollow people who google asked to follow.

Good to know that I have still no reason to release my grudge against Google.
