New window behavior?

It seems the Excel folks are always striving to find some way to make Excel
behave differently from all other Windows applications in some regard. The
most glaring example, of course, is cut, copy, and paste, but I just
accidentally discovered another one, and I'm wondering how long (i.e., since
what version) Excel has been doing this.

I'm using Excel 2003, and when I right-click on a child window's window
menu* I get a context menu with things live save, print, new window, etc. I
tried this in Access and Word and right-clicking a child window window menu
does...absolutely nothing. Can someone with an earlier version of Excel give
this a shot and see if it happens there too.

What will they think of next...?



* control menu, system menu, whatever they call it nowadays
 
Jeff,

It's been that way since Excel97, at least.
