Hi,
Has anyone come across a problem where the Excel close button needs to be
clicked twice, before excell fully closes.
Selecting the office buttonexit excel works fine. However, clicking the top
right close button seems to close the winow or active workbook, leaving excel
open. All other office apps close with with a single close click. It is very
annoying..

Thanks

This seems to be an unavoidable side-effect of having 'Show all windows in
the taskbar' selected in your Excel options. If you can live without this
feature your problem should go away.

Yes. And the "fix" is not a fix at all.
Does anyone know if this is something we can actually fix for our end-users
so they can have the full functionality (show the items in the task bar) of
the app?

How do we escalate this to MS?

thanx.

Now that's a much more elegant solution.

The best way that I found is to click on the 'Office Button' in the upper
left hand corner of your screen - right click on 'Exit Excel' - then choose
to 'Add to Quick Access Toolbar'. This 'X' that's placed on your toolbar
only needs to be clicked once and then it completely closes down Excel.
