Default Workbook copies itself when opened

I have a workbook athat was authored by someone else and sent to me for
editing that replicates itself when opened. At this point I have 5 versions
that open up at the same time when I open up the file. What causes that and
how do I prevent it from happening in the future.

Thank you!

Thank you. I did save the file as a new name, and that seemed to work.

How does one stop it from happening? Is it operator error?

You can create a new window like this
Maybe you did this by accident

WindowNew Window in the menubar
Click on the X to close it

One stops it from happening by not going to WindowNew Window.

Yes, it is operator-induced.

The feature is very handy when you want to see more than one view of sheets or
workbooks.
