Getting .wk1 files to open in SDI?

P

Paul Hutchings

Does anyone know what governs when Excel 2000 on Windows XP opens files in
a single "master" window versus multiple Excel windows?

I have a user who has a bunch of .wk1 files, which is Lotus AFAIK?

I've gone to tools/options and set the option to open all excel sheets
within the same instance of excel ("Show window titles" I think it's
called) and it works with Excel files, it also works if you open an Excel
file and then do file/open and open one of the .wk1 files, but if I
associate .wk1 files with Excel, each time I double click on a different
..wk1 file an extra instance of Excel apears on the taskbar?

TIA for any suggestions,

regards
Paul
