File opens as worksheet.xls:1 and worksheet.xls:2. Only one exist
 

Without explanation I have 2 different files that whenever I open them in
Excel, 2 workbooks open, both with the same name. I can switch between the 2,
and changes to the one are refleceted in the other. I can't figure out how to
get back to just a single instance of the workbook.

Thanks MUCH!

Hi Dave,

This is the result of Window | New.

To remove the extraneous window, click the X close button at the top right
of the document window - not the Excel window!

Close one. Save the file. Re-open. Should be fixed.

This can generally be re-created by openeing any file, choosing Windows
New Window, and then saving it.

Select the window that you don't want.
hit ctrl-w
save the workbook or you'll have to do it again next time.

Clicking the "close" button for one of the workbooks did the trick.

Thanks much for your help.

Good - but note Dave Peterson's advice about saving the file!
