two workbooks with extension .xls1 and .xls2
 

I clicked on something and now my original (one) workbook has opened as two
workbooks with the above listed extensions. If I do something in one, it
will appear in the other. If I close out and re- open the workbook from it's
original state, they still appear. I clicked too fast or hit something and
now I can't get it back to original form. Can you help?

Hi

You've opened a New Window (from the Window dropdown). Just close one of
your windows and save your workbook.

I tried that but it wouldn't let me close one window without the other. I'll
try it again though. Thanks!

When I first closed the window, it closed both books and when I reopened it,
it appeared as two windows again. THEN :-), I right clicked on the bottom
taskbar on one of the books and closed it that way, then I still had one
workbook open and saved that. ALL IS WELL! Thank you! I don't ever really
use two books, side by side like this so that's whyy it threw me! Thank you
again for your help! :-)

If it happens again, you may find this easier.

Select the window you don't want.
hit ctrl-w (to close it)
save your workbook in that state.

two workbooks with extension .xls1 and .xls2
 

OK, New problem That was not quite it! I have an excel workbook that when I
opened it and accidentially clicked on something by Window, my file now shows
as one file but with two workbooks in it and the extension after each is
checkbook.xls1, and then .xls2. I CAN'T seem to close one without the other.
We tried the New Window and that created a new workbook and we were able to
close that new window but we still can't close the workbook and have only one
sheet to work on. If I make any changes to the one labelled .xls1, it makes
the same changes in .xls2. Sorry, but this is so frustrating.
