i am new to excell and i have a document that i got from work that has
multiple worksheets, that drop down in the "name box" it says i get them but
i cannot get back to my original document.. sorry dont know how else to
describe this. thanks T
 
"that dropdown in the 'name box' it says"....
What is IT? The dropdown? The name box?
"it says I get them"...
What is THEM?
"back to my original document"...
Can you see your sheet tabs?
I can only envision that you have a workbook with sheet tabs hidden ( to
fix, go to Tools-->Options-->View and make sure sheet tabs is checked) or
that you have a workbook that has the sheet tabs "off screen" (to fix, go to
Window-->Arrange all), and that you're using the name box dropdown to select
a named range that's on something besides the sheet that appeared when you
opened the file. Also, have you tried:
Ctrl+Home to get to the top of the worksheet
Ctrl+G and type in Sheet1!A1 to get to the first cell of the first sheet
(presumably).

Just a thought for a quick check
(but I think Anne's response would have nailed your issue) ..

In a new sheet,
Select A1, then click Insert > Name > Paste > Paste list
Check the pasted list for any errors in the defined names,
eg: =#REF!$A$1:$B$1
 
Thank you the windows option worked to add the worksheets to the
bottom of my screen so that i could see them.
