multiple workbooks in window
Please help -- I'm going crazy. I have the complete opposite problem of most
of the similar questions here. IT has given me a new computer with a new install of XL03. Previously on my old system, my default XL operation when opening a new workbook was that it would open in its OWN window in the application window, as would all subsequent files opened . . . meaning, I guess that they all opened automatically tiled or cascaded or whatever, but they were all in the single application window. Now when I open a new file, it opens as before (detached window w/ its own commands). BUT, if I then open another file, the 2nd takes over the app window and gives me the lower minimize/restore/maximize worksheet commands, below the ones for the app in the title bar. If I close the 2nd, I get back to my moveable/tileable 1st file. I've tried changing every possible setting and saving all configs, but nothing is working. Please note -- I DO NOT want a separate XL window for each file álÃ* Word like everyone else -- I want all my workbook windows *detached* within in the single application window. For the life of me I can't figure out what I had in the settings in my old system that created this behavior |

multiple workbooks in window
I have the same problem and it's driving me nuts. In fact I can't copy a
worksheet from one file to another because of this. Hopefully someone will answer this. And hopefully this isn't the new behavior that we cannot change. "gummy" wrote: Please help -- I'm going crazy.
