Simple Question......
 

....this is more a windows question.
i've started to use Excel2003 on XP

when more that 1 workbook are open I get more than one little Excel
window in the toolbar at the very bottom of my screen, therefore if I
have 10 workbooks open the bottom of my screen gets clogged with 10
Excel boxes. Some people might like this....I don't! ... anyone know
how I change my settings so as to only have one symbol for Excel (in
fact only one symbol for each open application)

help appreciated
Jason.

Simple Question......
 

ToolsOptionsView, and uncheck the Windows In taskbar box.

I think you need the 'Group similar items' don't you.

Right Click the taskbar/properties, and check the box...
