Hello, I have a question about Excel 97.
When I used to open multiple workbooks, I would get a seperate icon on the taskbar that I could click on for each workbook. (I could also Alt-Tab to each workbook.) I just re-installed everything on a new computer system and now the only way to switch between multiple workbooks is to click on "Window" in Excel and then click on the workbook I want to use. Two things that will NOT work a -Going to Taskbar and Start Menu. Clicking "Group Similar Taskbar Buttons" -In Excel going to Tool, options, view, checking "Windows in Taskbar". (Excel 97 does not have this item, it only came in Excel 2000 or later) How do I go back to my "old, but good" system? Thanks, Sean. |

![]() Don't know about Excel 97 differences, but a simpler way to move between workbooks is Ctrl+Tab. -- John James ------------------------------------------------------------------------ John James's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...o&userid=32690 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=534000 |

Go to:
Tools -- Options -- there is a check box called "Windown in Taskbar" -- tick this option... this should work. See if this works "S Dees" wrote: Hello, I have a question about Excel 97.

In windows XPP - Right click on the windows task bar at the bottom and click
on properties. Uncheck the tick for "Group Similar Taskbar Buttons" All the tabs will then be visible. See if this meets your requirements "Peo Sjoblom" wrote: Not in 97 -- Regards, Peo Sjoblom Excel 95 - Excel 2007 Northwest Excel Solutions www.nwexcelsolutions.com "It is a good thing to follow the first law of holes; if you are in one stop digging."

Thanks for replying back to the request for info. Unfortunately both people
that replied back with suggestions didn't read my full message. I specifically out-lined that those 2 suggestions would not work in this case. (The suggestion about Cntl+Tab was a helpful one though!) Thanks for the help, if anyone thinks of anything else, please let me know. Thanks, Sean "Manoj" wrote in message ...
