Working with VBA Project in Excel for MacOS

James Palmer 280

I am having difficulty with working with the module windows in my VBA project.

With some of the module windows, I am not able to move or close the window.

I have included a screenshot showing what I see.

How do gain access to the top of the two code windows in the upper left corner of the module display window (attached)?

The MacOS definition of the window area that I'm unable to access is called the "Window Title Bar" thus not allowing me to either close the two module(s) or move the window(s).

Hi James Palmer,

To help us better understand what you're seeing, could you please provide a screenshot of the VBA Editor showing the module windows and the overall VBE layout?

Before posting the screenshot, please make sure to remove or obscure any personally identifiable information (PII) or sensitive details.

Additionally, could you let us know:

Which version of Excel for Mac are you using? (Excel > About Microsoft Excel)
Does this occur with all workbooks or only a specific workbook?
Are the affected windows standard modules, worksheet modules, or UserForms?
Did the behavior start after a recent Office update, or has it always occurred?
Are you able to access the Window menu in the VBA Editor and use options such as Cascade or Tile?

With the screenshot and the additional details above, we'll be able to determine whether this is related to a split code window, a VBE window layout issue, or another Excel for Mac VBA Editor behavior.

Microsoft® Excel for Mac - Version 16.112.3 (26083020)

I am assuming that it happens, only, with my PERSONAL.xlsb workbook, since I need to Unhide it in order for me to edit my macros.

Standard modules

I tried Cascade - It revealed the Windows properly. Issue Resolved
