| Guest | Default opening files in Excel 2007 I want to change the defaults so when I open multiple spreadsheets/workbooks they open in one application of excel only - i.e. if I go to 'View -> Switch window' all the workbooks are shown. Currently when I open an Excel file it will open automatically in a new instance of Excel. I know I can open mutiple files if I choose 'Office Button -> Open' but if I double click an Excel file in windows explorer this is when they open in a new application of Excel. I know you can do this in previous versions of Excel but cant find this option in Excel 2007. Can anyone offer any advice please? |
