Question: “A good friend was fired recently for sexual harassment. He did pat a woman on her bottom, and she told him she was offended and he apologized. She filed a complaint and the company fired him. Does he need to disclose that he was fired and why he was fired? The company will not disclose the information, it only verifies employment. How does he answer the question, “Why did you leave your last job?” on an application or in an interview?” — Melodie

Question: “Occasionally in Excel, I have a table open but it isn’t visible. I know the table is open because the name bar tells me it is in cell A1, etc., and the formula bar tells me what is in that cell, but the screen is completely gray. You cannot see the table. I can move from cell to cell with my arrow keys, but I cannot see the table or cells on the screen. The only way to view the table is in full screen mode, which doesn’t have the task bars available. Does anyone know what the problem is and how to fix it?” — Diana
