PAD opening Excel missing menu and ribbon bar

I have a user who is having a strange PAD issue.  When he opens Office 365 Excel manually it works fine, but when PAD runs a shared flow and opens excel to work on a spreadsheet Excel is missing the top menu bar and ribbon.  CTRL+F1 does nothing.  We are not in full screen mode either.  I can't get to the options because there is no menu bar to ALT+F to.  Right clicking anywhere doesn't do anything either.  I can put formulas in the cells, etc, but I can't get to any menu functions or options.  I've done the online repair of Office 365 with no luck.  I've re-installed PAD.  It was working before the user updated to the latest version, but I have the latest version and the flow works fine for me.  If someone could point me to a place where I can download a previous version that would be great as I can't seem to find one myself.

 

Thanks for any insight you can provide.
