A co-worker of mine was particularly frustrated that she had multiple
spreadsheets she needed to work from, but was unable to cascade the way word
does which made her efforts all the more difficult.

Fortunately I was able to show her how to alt+tab between them which helped,
but adding a cascade option similar to the one in word would be very helpful.

Also there are three of us in my office that often have to access the same
spreadsheet periodically and we get the error message that one of us in is
it, so we end up having to call them to let us in, or let us know when they
are out. An option to allow multiple users to access the same spreadsheet
and update similtaneously the way access does would be very helpful.

Also in Outlook, my boss found it particularly trying that edit - select all
did not highlight all of the attachements that were in a particular email so
that he could paste them all at once into a folder which would have been very
helpful to him. Instead he had to open each one individually and save as
into the folder he was needing them in. Having an option to select all
attachements to copy / paste into a folder on the hard-drive or server would
also prove very helpful!

As far as cascading, this can be done. Window/New Window for as many sheets
as you want to or need to cascade.

File sharing and locking is not an issue I know much about.
