In MSWord, if you click the "W" icon to create or open a document, it opens
and works fine, wether or not you have other word documents open.
In MSExcel, if another Excel workbood is among the 15 or 20 things you have
open, clicking the "X" icon opens Excel with a read only dialog box, causing
you to have to close the error, let it finish opening, and then close it and
find your open workbook to start a new one or open another one.
This bothered me en Office XP and I thought the updates would fix it but
they didn't.
Now I moved on to Office 2003 on my new computer and they still haven't
fixed it.
Does anyone know how to get it to work like MSWord? Or even block the
icon's opening of the new file that has to be closed when one is open?
Some kind of work around would be nice until they wake up and fix it.
