then setting it up to display both at once. If this is the case one
window will say Filename.xls:1 and the other Filename.xls:2.

This is a useful tool because you can show different tabs on screen at
the same time. Any change made to one window will appear in the
quot;otherquot; spreadsheet, so no data will be lost.

To revert back to a single instance of the file, click the X button on
the :2 file, and save. The next time you open the file, only one
instance will appear.Just a variation of Dave O's reply.

If you see :2 or :1 in the title bar (Like: Book1.xls:2), then you have two
windows into the same workbook open.

You can also select the window you want to close and hit ctrl-w to close that
window. Then save the workbook (or you'll be doing it again next time).
