Default Grouping Workbooks Into One Window


Hi,

I am running Office XP on my computer. After I first installed Excel,
whenever I opened a workbook it would open in a separate window. Now,
they all open in one Excel window and I have to go up to the 'Window'
toolbar to switch between workbooks. I am working with workbooks that I
have to constantly switch between so this gets very frustrating at
times. How can I configure it back to the way it was before? Thanks in
advance!

Raman

I believe that if you were to start another instance of Excel (Start -
Programs - Select Excel), it will do what you want.

Default Grouping Workbooks Into One Window


It used to do it everytime I opened a new workbook automatically and I
was hoping to get it to work like that again if possible. Thank you for
your suggestion though.

By the way, Word still does that (opens each document in a new window)
so I'm guessing its a setting somewhere.

If you really mean separate windows of the same excel application:

Tools|Options|view tab|check windows in task bar.

Remember that ctrl-tab (or ctrl-F6) will swap between open workbooks in the same
instance of excel very quickly.

Thanks for the help Dave! I didn't know about the Ctrl-Tab feature but I
do now
