I am finding it very cumbersome to switch back and forth in Excel for Mac. Here's what happens - I open an excel spreadsheet - I cannot see all of the tabs that take me to individual spreadsheets, nor can I see the green button at the top. I hover over the right side and click on the blue compatibility button and the green, yellow, red buttons appear on the left.
I have to click on the green to get the tabs at the bottom to appear. Once I start working in the spreadsheet (now that I can access it) I then have lost my green, yellow, and red buttons. Again I have to hover over the right side to the blue compatibility area button and click it to get them to appear.
I'm sure there must be a way to have the green, yellow and red buttons and the tabs at the bottom appear at the same time so I don't have to at every juncture have to find the blue compatibility right area but I cannot figure it out. If anyone has the answer, I would greatly appreciate it. Although I like the Office products I am finding them very difficult to use on the Mac and am about to abandon totally. This is just too much work.
