You sure the names weren't:

Expenses:1 and Expenses:2
or
Expenses.xls:1 and Expenses:2

If they had that colon (:) in the title bar, you have two windows into the same
workbook.

Select the window you don't want and hit ctrl-w to close it.

Save your workbook or you'll be doing it again.

This is caused by Window|New Window and can be quite handy if you want to see
different portions of a worksheet/workbook at the same time.

When I open a file, two identical separate documents/worksheets open within
the file. One is titled Expenses(1), the other Expenses(2). Neither
document has the menu bar at the top. Both separate documents are within the
file which has the menu bar at the top. How do I get rid of one of these?
I've tried everything!!
