Microsoft Excel 2003 Question.?

I know that if you have multiple word documents open on Microsoft Word 2003, you can click the "X" in the top right corner, and it will close that one document.

With Excel if you do that and have multiple sheets open, it closes all at one time. Is there a way to change this setting.

I am talking about the "X" in the top right for the entire screen, not the "X" that is for closing the document.

I just find it kind of weird that it works differently between the two.

Thanks.

Yes, the difference is weird, and only one of many. Excel XP (2002), at least, is still an MDI (Multiple Document Interface) application, with all open files shown in a single window (hence the closing problem), while Word went back to the original Single Document Interface.

The two applications also handle templates and macros in totally different ways.

And don't even mention Access! VBA there came a version after the other two had left the previous Basic behind.

I think this is all because the applications' histories and development teams were different, with some egos and Not Invented Here attitudes coming into play.

As far as changing the closing procedure, I don't think that's an available option.

Sorry.
