Excel opens multiple programs

When my wife opens more than one document in excel, then
excel starts a new session of excel for each document.
When she closes one document they all close. Any
suggestions?
 
William,

How is she closing the document. If she's using the X in the
top right corner is it possible that she's hitting the close
application (very top left) instead of the workbook close
(below the other one)? If not I have no clue . . .

xl2k and higher have an option to show each window as a separate icon on the
taskbar.
And it sounds like your wife is hitting the X for the application--not workbook
and closing everything.

I'd turn that windows in taskbar off (tools|Options|View Tab) and then tell her
to be more careful <bg>.
 
dave,

You are correct, her version does have the option of
showing each window as a seperate icon. This is what she
wants to happen, however when she goes to close one
document then all of the other windows close at the same
time. This she doesn't want to happen. (and no she isn't
clicking on the wrong x.)
