Default 2 workbooks open

Hi -

A co-worker created a spreadsheet - over the course of a few weeks, several
tabs were added. Recently, when I received the spreadsheet via email, 2
identical workbooks opened. The 1st workbook was called 'Data (1)' and the
2nd was called 'Data (2)'.

There wasn't a macro on either spreadsheet - I'm at a loss to why 2
identical workbooks opened. Any ideas or suggestions are appreciated.

Regards,

Close the second instance of the Workbook and then Save the file.

It isn't two identical workbooks, it's two windows open on the same
workbook. Close one window, then save the workbook and reopen.
