The key used to minmise a workbook is the Windows key. This key can be found on the bottom left corner of the keyboard and it looks like a four-pointed window icon. When this key is pressed along with another key, it can perform specific actions.

Why is my Excel file not minimizing?

The most likely reason your Excel file is not minimizing is due to a compatibility issue. If you’re working on a large Excel spreadsheet in a newer version of Excel, such as Excel 2016, then it may not work correctly if you’re trying to minimize it in an older version, such as Excel 2010.

The two versions are not 100% compatible and some features, such as the minimizing feature, may not work correctly.

Other possble reasons why your Excel file may not be minimizing include a broken system file, a corrupted or damaged Excel document, or a glitch caused by a virus.

To fix this issue, try restarting your computer and then open the Excel file to see if the problem has gone away. If not, then you should try to repair the broken or corrupt files. You can do this by going to Control Panel > Programs and Features > select the version of Microsoft Office you’re running > Uninstall or change > Repair > Continue.

If the issue still persists, then you should try running a virus scan on your computer to make sure there are no malicious programs on your system that could be causing the problem. You can also try reinstalling the version of Excel that you’re using if none of the other solutions work.

Why is my Excel workbook so large?

There can be several reasons as to why your Excel workbook might be so large. One reason could be that your workbook contains a lot of data, including multiple worksheets, formulas and images. Another possibility is that you have many formatting options applied, such as borders, font styles, background color, font size, etc.

Additionally, if you have created a lot of charts or graphs, then this can also increase the size of your workbook. Finally, hidden or unused rows and columns in a worksheet could also be adding extra bulk to your file size.

To reduce the size of your Excel workbook, you can try deleting any unnecessary items, consolidating data onto fewer worksheets, and removing unnecessary formatting options. You can also try checking every tab of your workbook to make sure that there are no hidden rows or columns which are adding to the size of your workbook.

How do you change the size of Excel when it opens?

The size of the Excel window can be changed when it opens depending on how you launch the application. If the file is opened directly from Windows Explorer or the Start Menu, then the Settings in the Options menu will be used.

If Excel is launched from another application, such as using a macro to open an Excel workbook, then the size can be determined and passed to the opening command.

If opening the file directly, there are a couple of ways to customize the size that Excel launches. The first is to right-click on an Excel file icon, choose Properties, and then select the Windows tab.

Inside the Windows tab, check the box next to “Run in a Large Window” which will always open the file full screen when running normally. Alternately, you can use the Shortcut tab and manually enter a Width and Height to get the desired size.

Once you set the size you want, save the file and the next time you double-click the icon or open it from the Start menu, it will use the size you set. To be clear, this only applies to workbook that are opened via an unmodified double-click or selected from the Start Menu.

If the file is opened by a macro, or in a specific size, then any previous settings on the file will be overridden.
