What does it mean to have a file name followed by .xls:1 etc.?
I received an Excel spreadsheet that produces two separate spreadsheets when
I open it. They have the same names except that one is .xls:1 and the other ..xls:2 and I have not been able to find what this signifies. |

Those are multiple windows that view the same Excel file.
You create them by selecting WindowNew Window. If you close the :2 window, the other will still be open (but the :1 will no longer display) Does that help? *********** Regards, Ron "KGAR" wrote: I received an Excel spreadsheet that produces two separate spreadsheets when I open it.

The last person to save the file had two windows open on the document; to
eliminate this (barring protection), close .xls:2, save file, close .xls:1. Next file opening should be a single window document.

I like this to close windows I don't want.
Select the window I don't want. hit ctrl-w save the workbook the way I like (so I don't have to do it again) KGAR wrote: I received an Excel spreadsheet that produces two separate spreadsheets when I open it.
