Default Multiple instances of Excel

Mouse bad. Keyboard Good!! :] No one here at work knows keyboard shortcuts
but me!! Must be left over from my unix and VI days ;]

I've noticed that things in the microsoft world aren't always consistent.
damn them. Guess I'll have to start paying more attention when I close
things.

Thanks for the help.

Oh I know I'm doing "Exit", the big red "X", "Alt+F4". And that closes
Excel
and all open sheets. I know I should use "Close", the little "x",
"Ctrl+F4".


ALT-F, C. Mouse bad. Keyboard good. :-)



However, I use Word more that I use Excel and it doesn't matter if I use
"Alt+F4", it still only closes one document and leaves the rest alone and
if
there aren't any others it Exits out of Word as well. I was just hoping
to
get Excel to perform the same way.


ALT-F, C. :-)


That's one of the rare inconsistences between Excel & Word. I suspect there
was (and still is) much bickering about it between the programming teams
around the Jolt Cola machine at Microsoft.
