Window Menu - Excel 2007 Equivalent

**ffffloyd** · 08-07-2011, 10:43 PM

I am forcing myself to migrate from the old and trusted Excel to the 2007 version, to try and get used to that abominable ribbon, and to get away from my reliance on the old menus that had become second nature over the last 30 years.

Now, in the old Excel there was a Window menu that let you select any of the open workbooks to make it active.

Could some kind soul tell an old man where the equivalent is in Excel 2007?

Also if you hover your mouse on the Excel icon on the status bar (using Windows 7?) it will show all open workbooks and you can simply click on the one you want.

Thanks guys. That works, and thanks for the link, shg.

What I have found handy, being more adept with the keyboard than the mouse, is that if you tap and release Alt, it tells you which letters to type to move the ribbon and execute the commands underneath them. Like this occasion though, it's a matter of knowing which ribbon topic to move to and then reading all the <expletive deleted> options!
