Excel 2008 formula bar problem

Try moving Excel's preference file to your desktop then relaunching Excel. It's probably in /Users/username/Library/Preferences and called com.microsoft.Excel.plist.

 

Gee! this is bad, have you tried ctrl-clicking in the Formula bar? I just did and a Reset toolbar option appears there (in my case appears greyed out but my formula bar is in the correct position)

Hope this helps!

 

i had the same problem. i was able to fix it. but it has come back again a few more times since. there's definitely something screwy here. shouldn't be this much work to straighten out basic toolbars.

 

Hey, I launched excel this morning and my titlebar was all sorts of jacked up - it was like 10px wide and scrolled any selected cell's text downwards one character wide. wow, annoying.

I reset this plist file and it now works like a champ. Registered to just thank thank you *

 

Formula Bar Alignment Fix

I'm using Excel 12..

I was unable to fix with others mentioned here, until I found the preference "Excel Toolbars (12)"

I moved Excel's Toolbar preference file to my desktop (could have trashed it) then relaunched Excel. Mine was in /Users/username/Library/Preferences/Microsoft/Office 2008 and called "Excel Toolbars (12)".

I hope this helps others! Good Macin' to you!!

 

You saved my life ! Works fine with me

Even 12 years on, this information is a pleasure to read when Excel still contains bugs.
Thanks!
