Harold runs Excel 2002 on a Windows XP system. He often has several workbooks open at the same time, and he likes to see individual buttons for each workbook on the Taskbar. The problem is that he cannot get the system to display the desired multiple buttons.
There are two things that need to be checked out in order to make sure that you really get multiple buttons on the Taskbar. The first thing is in Excel; follow these steps:
Figure 1. The View tab of the Options dialog box.
The next thing that needs to be checked is in Windows itself. Follow these steps:
Figure 2. The Taskbar tab of the Taskbar and Start Menu Properties dialog box.
Your individual workbook buttons should now be displayed, as desired, in Excel.
