We have recently moved to office 2007 and one thing that the users have
brought to my attention is that if they have several spreadsheets open at the
same time and try to close Excel it forces you to close each one
individually.

Is there a way to get back to the old way of closing all the sheets at once
without having to close them one at a time?

Hi,

Try holding the shift key when clicking the application close button.

Cheers
Andy

This behavior is due to having "Windows in taskbar" selected in Advanced
Options, so unselecting that is a way to remedy this issue.
