doubt in office 97

By Venkatramaiah.sudarsan ·
HI,

Today one user showed me a file which opens twice with the name filname:1 and filename:2 and when a file is closed the other file is also closed automatically.. I tried to find a solution in microsoft site but it is of no use..

It says unregister excel and then register again.. But nothing happened even after that

can anyone give a lead pls?

Close one of the files and save it. What probably happened is someone clicked on Windows>New window

My actual problem is opening of 2 files with the same name.. For eg if i double click on a file named a.xls, two file names are getting opened as a.xls:1 and a.xls:2 both of them having the same contents.. If one file is closed, the other file gets closed automatically.

This can happen when files become cross-linked. Close all applications and run scandisk.

Yes, that is what happens when you create a New Window view.
You can close down one copy by going to Window> Arrange.
Then close one of the views.
These are not two files, but two views of the same file.

Hi,
U are correct.. Even though i wish to give points to u for this, i still have one more issue and since the question needs to be closed if i accept, i am keeping it open.. If i close the file, the entire file is getting closed. How do i close only one window.. Pls help out..

Go to Window Arrange and choose Tile. You will see both views. Click the Close X in the upper right corner of one of the views. Maximize the remaining window. Save and close the file. It will now open normally.
