My elderly father uses lots of Excel workbooks for different lists etc, but
with2 or 3 open they all open within '1 Excel program'. Can Excel be set
to open each workbook into its own window rather like Publisher or even
Internet Explorer?

It would enable easier+ more understandable switching between panes and
more importantly closing the prog/ 1 file without saving won't mean he
closes ALL without saving as has been the case- on more than 1 occasion
now..
Using Autosave isn't always the best method either since it then 'freezes'
the file stopping the ability to UNDO
