Hello,

I have just moved from Excel 2000 to Excel 2003. In the Tools/Options/View
menu I have selected "Windows in Task Bar". In Excel 2000, all my Excel
files were displayed in the task bar and it was very convenient to switch
quickly between files.

In Excel 2003, there is a drop down menu that I must select to see all my
open Excel files. This slows me down and I was wondering if there was a way
to set this feature to work like it does in Excel 2000, where I can see all
the open files.

Any help is much appreciated.

John,

Right-click on the taskbar, then select properties.

Uncheck "Group similar taskbar buttons"

Hope that helps.
