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. John Keith |

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. -- Debra Dalgleish Excel FAQ, Tips & Book List http://www.contextures.com/tiptech.html |

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... -- LostintheJungle ------------------------------------------------------------------------ LostintheJungle's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...o&userid=19981 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=345731 |
