How canI view excel files on the taskbar?

[Bert]

When I open 2 or more excel files I used to be able to view their names on
the taskbar and click on the one I wanted to be in. Now I can only do this
from Windows> and then by choosing the respective file. This is very
cumbersome.

Help!

To turn on Single Document Interface (SDI) in Microsoft Office 2003
applications Tools|Options|View and check "Windows in Taskbar". In either
case there is only one instance application's executable running. Task
Manager|Processes will confirm this.

Go to the Tools menu, choose Options, then the View tab. There,
check the "Windows in Taskbar" setting.
