How do I stop Excel (2003) from opening up duplicate workbooks?

I have a workbook that every time I open it, Excel opens up a second
duplicate, adding the a 1 and a 2 to the file extension. I'm trying to find
out how to correct this. I've tried following what VERY LITTLE help I'm
getting, but none of it is working. Can anyone help me? I do know that it
does have something to do with viewing multiple sheets in a workbook. Any
help I can get will be greatly appreciated.

I believe at some point when the file was open WINDOW/NEW WINDOW was
selected from the menu. This so you can view 2 different views of the same
worksheet if you were working at opposite ends of the sheet. Click the X
close button in the upper right hand corner of the window, directly below the
title bar.
 
You have two windows open in the one workbook. You can use the Window menu
to move between them, or the Arrange function on the Window menu to see the
windows together.
Click the X in the top right-hand corner (*below* the red X) to close one of
the windows, then you can save the workbook with only one window open.
