    Not Technical,

    Hi. I have a small but really annoying problem.

    Basically when I open say 5 diffrent files in excel usally they are displayed side by side in the windows tool bar. For some reason on this computer all the files are in 1 box dispalyed below so to ge to the file i need its a long process espically when i need to move between the files regulary.

    I am aware of the option to solve this - tools, option, view, show windows in task bar.

    HOwever on this machine the "show windows in Taskbar" option is not there to select. theres nothing there.

    I will add that this is a really old excel program 96 or 97 but am sure there is a way around it. ANY ADVICE APPRECIATED.

    Unfortunately, this functionality was brought in with Excel 2000 (or it is XL2002 - either way it won't be available in 97. The only workaround (other than getting a newer version of Excel ) might be to open 5 different instances of Excel. Try it and see how it goes ...
