When I hit the Start button, then Turn Off Computer, then Standby I
receive
this error message.

Windows cannot go on standby because Microsoft Office documents or
application components are being accessed from the network. You must close
the open documents or exit the applications before you can put the
computer
on standby.

Can I go to Standby without closing EXCEL?
