I have a lot of Excel sheets for all sorts of things - but none has ever acted up like this one here:

troubled excel sheet

This used to be a totally normal Excel 2007 sheet which I was able to resize, maximize etc. - but not anymore. What happened? What can I do to "undo" whatever I did to it.

Any ideas?? I tried to share / undo sharing, I tried to protect / unprotect the sheet - nothing seems to work....
