Excel Duplicating Workbooks
Someone in my office sent an Excel file to me. When I open it two files open one has the extension .xls:1 and the other .xls:2. They appear to be the same file, I cannot delete either one without the other one being deleted. Renaming and doing a save-as only compounds the problem, I then have two more files with the :1 and :2 after the file extension. Any helpful ideas on how to get just one file would be greatly appreciated.

This is actually just two (or more) windows into the same workbook.
Just select one of the windows (the one you don't want) and hit ctrl-w. Remember to save the workbook the way you want or you'll be doing this again. luke1438 wrote: Someone in my office sent an Excel file to me.
