Why does my excel program create a .xls:1 extension?

Laura

The :1 does not show on my documents, but when the file is open it shows
..xls:1 in the file name.

This means you have created two windows of the same file.

If you go to Window you will see filename.xls:2

Close one of the Windows using the "X" at top right.

Save the workbook.

The two windows were created using Window>New Window.

Handy feature if you want two or more windows open with different views.
