Go to the Tools menu, choose the Options, then the View tab.
There, check the "Windows in taskbar" setting.

I want to open mulitple workbooks and be able to alt+tab between
them.
Currently I cannot do this as I have to select Window and then
the workbook I
wish to view. It's as if it will only allow me to open excel
once. I'm
seeking to operate excel similar to how you would operate MS
Word if you had
multiple docements open. They each appear as their own Word
program on the
Windows menu bar.
I'm operating with Excel 2003 on WindowsXP OPS.
