software

When I freeze windows on a workbook, additional copies are quot;viewablequot; from
the taskbar. Each time I freeze window another version appears. The name of
the quot;viewsquot; are the actual filename suffixed with quot;:nquot; as follows:

filename.ext:1
filename.ext:2

This is very annoying for a number of reasons and I want to turn it off. Any
ideas?

These windows aren't from Freezing panes. But they are from another option
under Window (on the menubar).

Window|new window

If you want to get rid of one of those windows, you can select the window to
close and hit ctrl-w.

Then save the workbook.

If Window|Freeze panes actually does create these windows, then you could try
resetting the toolbar:

tools|customize|toolbars tab|select worksheet menu bar
and click the Reset button

(any customized changes to that toolbar will be lost and have to be recreated.)

Thank you Dave, you are right, the window|new window is true and the Ctl-W
works to kill it. But I never use that function, and I confimed that mine are
coming from the freeze funciton.
Try this:
Create a clean workbook. (Open excel to a blank sheet)
Fill in a few cells in adjacent rows/cols
Freeze window and scroll around. nothing happens.
Unfreeze windows - see if you get a second quot;viewquot;. (book1.xls:2 and
book1.xls:1)
You can get rid of them by closing all of them with :1 being the last one
closed, or Ctl-w works here also.
But, is there any way to disable this quot;featurequot;?

It didn't work that way for me.

Did you try resetting the toolbar (from the first post)?dgaex001 wrote:

Hmm, the reset of the menu bar had no effect. I reset from the toolbar tab
and the options tab. Looks like I may be stuck with this....

If you close excel and reopen in Safe mode...

close excel
windows start button|run
excel /safe
and hit enter

Do you still have the same trouble?
