Hi Mick,

why does 2013 not have windowed open file panes?

They are all stuck maximized, and separate full excel windows pop to
the desktop front for each file. This is like some Windows 8
consideration thing. Some of us have multiple displays, and this new
pair-of-dimes is a departure from a windowed motif. Not necessarily
affecting multi-display setups per se, but still, one has to adjust one's
ways and means yet one more time... how quaint... not!

sorry Mick, but I didn't realize that the problem is based on Win8 and
Office2013.
I'm still working with Office2007 and Office2010 and Vista as OS.


Regards

I am not in Windows 8, but my excel 2013 behavior in Windows 7 is what
I referred to. Sorry I ddin't make that clear when I suggested why it
might be that way.
