Why is there no Freeze Panes option in the Windows drop-down box?

My colleague has no Freeze Panes in his Windows drop-down box. He has
forwarded the same spreadsheet to me, and I do have the Freeze Panes option
when I open the document. (Excel 2003 SP3 on Windows XP). Thx.

Your colleague may have modified his toolbar (maybe by accident, too).

He can reset that toolbar via:
Tools|Customize|Toolbars tab
Select Worksheet Menu Bar
and click Reset

Any other customized changes to that toolbar will need to be redone, though.

No entry at all or just grayed out?

If no entry at all...........ToolsCustomizeToolbars

Scroll down to Worksheet MenuBar and "reset"

Note: this will destroy any customizations of that Toolbar and reset to
default.

Alternate route.

Drag "Freeze Panes" up to Window dropdown box.
