You'll have to elaborate.  I'll assume you're running 2.1 
and LIM 4.0 expanded memory.  Windows 286 uses expanded 
memory automatically.  Also, a Windows app can manage any
available expanded memory itself (Excel).  Make sure you've
installed Windows correctly and don't see any errors when
you start up.  If you are running Windows 386, then you 
may have a problem.  Expanded memory must be converted to 
extended memory and no EMM can be installed because Windows
uses its own EMM which simulates expanded memory.  This is
documented in the "Getting Started with Windows/386" booklet.
