Order of words in title of Excel windows
Hi,
is it possible to change the order of words in Excel window? What I mean: Actual Status - as a window's title I see: "Microsoft Excel - Document 1" Desired status - I wanna see: "Document 1 - Microsoft Excel" The "desired status" I already see e.g. in Microsoft Word. For explanation why I need it: I have e.g. 10 Excel files opened and all of them begins with Microsoft Excel. Therefore, I can not clearly recognize which file I need. Thank you for your help. JKH |

You can get rid of the Microsoft Excel part completely and just show the filename. Private Sub Workbook_Open() Application.Caption = " " End Sub Private Sub Workbook_BeforeClose(Cancel As Boolean) Application.Caption = "" End Sub Right-click on the Excel logo left of "File" on menu and select "View Code" Paste the above into that module.

This VBA code helps. But it is solution only for files with this code.
Is it possible to do it in general? It means - for all files I open? Also, better without VBA programming (because of security restriction I can not use macros).

Yep. You'll need an application event that looks for you opening workbooks.

But you will still have to enable macros so if you cannot use macros I think
you're out of luck. Gord On Mon, 11 Dec 2006 15:09:54 -0600, Dave Peterson wrote: Yep. You'll need an application event that looks for you opening workbooks.
