How does this happen...filename.xls:1 ...xls:2
 

When I open this file I get two worksheets that open and under "Window" I'll
have book.xls:1 and book.xls:2.
What are these? How does this happen? How can I prevent this?

Thanks!

These are multiple windows to the same workbook.

They happen when you choose Window/New Window

You can prevent this by not choosing Window/New Window

You can get rid of the extra windows by clicking the close box on all
but one.

It would appear someone has selected Windows - New Window.

Select Windows - Arrange - Tiles and close one of the windows.
