Unwanted instance od a window
 

MS Office 2003 on Win XP
I have a simple WorkBook with several (spread)sheets; no macros.
The file is called MyFile.xls.
When it's open, and I click Window on the menu bar, I'm given a choice of 2
windows shown as:-
1 MyFile.xls:1 and 2 MyFile.xls:2
They each show identical windows when selected.
I didn't (knowingly) create 2 windows.
How do I remove the redundant one?

It's actually two different windows or views into the same workbook.

Select the window you don't want and hit ctrl-w.

Then save the workbook--or you'll be doing it again.

Debra Dalgleish has some instructions with pictures:
