Excel 2013 – Start screen
When Excel 2013 opens it display its start window. Many users don’t use templates so it is frustrating. Pressing the Esc key takes you to the familiar grid.
To stop the Start screen displaying use Excel Options. Press in sequence Alt t o (not held down), at the bottom of the dialog untick the Start screen option and click OK.
