Default Huge Mistake!

While working in a spreadsheet I remember accidentally clicking 'something' with the mouse while I was moving the mouse from point to point.

The result being the sheet I was viewing turned all Excel background color (attached) with no cells, data, etc.

I closed and opened Excel, opened the file I was working on and the same result. The file did not display but for the background color. I tried opening other files with the same result. Oddly even the filename of the files I was opening did not display along the top Excel border as usual.

I then Opened New and correctly was presented with an Excel grid. However, as soon as I opened a file, gone was the grid and again the Excel background color.

What in the heck did I do?????
