Hello,
In the display settings, I mistakenly clicked on "new window" instead of "freeze panes."
And since I didn't notice any changes at first glance, I continued working and saved my file. It was only when I tried to close it that I saw the other window. And since then, I've been stuck with it. I don't know how to remove it.
When I completely close and reopen my file, the other window reappears. How can I get rid of it, please?
Thank you.
Configuration: Windows XP / Internet Explorer 7.0

I just closed one of the excels that appears in my taskbar at the bottom of my screen. Right-click, then "close window" for each additional window, then save.
Hello,
The "Freeze Panes" function is a function that only concerns the appearance of the window.
The "new window" function creates a second instance/a second display for the same file.
In short, with two windows: you can have one with frozen panes and the other without. However, any value/formula or other modification made in one window will also reflect in the other - necessarily: it's the same file.
Your file is only closed by Excel when all the windows in which it is open are also closed.
