Two identical entries in "Window" list
 

I have a spreadsheet that whenever I open it two identical name
entries appear in the "Window" menu that shows what files are
currently open. Any suggestions aobut what characterisitcs of this
spreadhseet cause this unusual behaviour? Is it going to cause a
problem at some point? When I close the file both the entries
disappear.

Any comments would be appreciated.

You may have 2 windows of the same file open. Close one
(*not* the Excel application). Now save the file.

Well, when I close one of the files in the Window list both entries
are removed so this process mentioned above is not possible to follow.

Something else must be going on.

There's a picture here that illustrates Jason's suggestion to close one
of the windows:

Try doing a Window Arrange Vertical - so that both files are visible,
then click on the X to close one, and the other should remain - then
save it and you should be good to go...

OK, thanks! That works.

Interesting difference in the behaviour of using the icon to close the
file vs. using File|Close.
