Situation :
Using Excel..
I double-click on a spreadsheet (from Windows explorer or wherever else), it opens Excel and displays the spreadsheet.
I then double-click on another spreadsheet (again from Windows explorer or wherever else), except this time, it simply opens another spreadsheet within the already open copy of Excel.
So to navigate between spreadsheets (in Excel), I need to click on window and select whichever...

It used to be set so that when a spreadsheet is already open, and I double-click to open another one, it would open a new copy of Excel.. So I could have all my open spreadsheets on the taskbar.. But in my current situation I cant have them on the taskbar since they are all open in the same copy of Excel..


I hope I was reasonably clear..

Anyone knows how to put it back??

thanks!

Not the same thing, exactly, but you can use CTRL + TAB to switch through the spreadsheets the same way you'd use ALT + TAB to switch through applications.
