Mac Forum / Applications / Excel / January 2008How to stop opening Blank Wookbooks?
Two problems: It used to be that Excel would automatically close a blank workbook when opening a document and, it used to be that Excel would not open a blank workbook when it was unhidden. Excel 08 will not close a blank workbook when opening a document and opens a blank workbook each time I unhide it (ie clicking on the Excel Icon in the dock). How do I stop this?? Actually, the "problems" you describe are partly because Office 2008 has been designed to be more compliant with Apple OS X guidelines:-) See in line: On 1/30/08 12:17 AM, in article ee8b4eb.-1@webcrossing.caR9absDaxw, > Two problems: It used to be that Excel would automatically close a blank > workbook when opening a document It still does on my installation - as long as the blank workbook actually *has not* been modified in any way. > and, it used to be that Excel would not open > a blank workbook when it was unhidden.

According to Hoyle, clicking the Dock icon isn't the equivalent of "unhiding" an application, it's the equivalent of *re-launching* it which is what generates the new file. Try using Command+Tab instead. HTH |:>) Bob Jones [MVP] Office:Mac |
