Using 2 sheet of workbook in 2 different window

Image
Problem : Is there ever a time that you would want to view & use the 2 sheets of the same workbook simultaneously. Yes. Solution : Let’s say that you want to see both Sheet1 and Sheet2 of the workbook at the same time. Follow these steps: 1) From the menu, select Window – New Window. 2) In the :2 version of the workbook, switch to Sheet2. 3) From the menu, select Window – Arrange. 4) In the Arrange dialog, choose Windows of Active Workbook and Vertical. Choose OK. Result: As shown in Fig., you can see the two different sheets, side by side. Once your done, you can close one of the window and any changes made in any of the window will be saved in the workbook automatically

Double the Value of the Recently Used File List

Problem: You routinely open the same six workbooks. The File menu shows only the last four workbooks that you opened or saved. It sure would be nice if it showed at least the last six workbooks. Strategy: Good news! You can increase the Recently Used File List(located at the bottom of the File menu) from four to nine workbooks. Go to Tools – Options – General. Use the spin button to dial the Recently Used File List from 4 to 9, as shown in Fig. 17. Immediately after changing the value, your list may only show four files. You have to open and close additional files to expand the list
