Excel's file name incorrectly shows ":" and a number for # of shee
Wanting to understand why Excel adds a colon and a number for number of
sheets in its Title Bar. Really have two questions. First I deleted 7 of 9 sheets in an .xls file, resaved to a new file name, reloaded same and file name still had the colon and 9 sheets. Looked like: myfile.xls:9 So how do I correct this? Secondly, if I have two excel files open and I switch them by looking on the task bar, I would prefer to view only the two files, not all of the sheets as is happening now. Haven't figured out how to accomplish this. Would appreciate any help. -- Bill W |

That number following the colon in the Title bar is indicating how many
"Windows" exist of the WS. Repeat : <Ctrl < W Until the number disappears ... THEN <Save Each time you click on: <Window <New Window You create an additional copy of the WS, where you can then go to: <Window <Arrange And select a configuration to display concurrent, multiple views of the same WS. -- HTH, RD ================================================== === Please keep all correspondence within the Group, so all may benefit! ================================================== === "aligatrjoe" wrote in message ...

You have inadvertantly added at least two windows with a view of the same
workbook through WindowNew Window. If you go to Window you will see the list. Hit CTRL + w untill only one remains. Save that one. To have two workbooks open side by side, open both then WindowNew Window. WindowArrange to suit.
