Wouldn't it be nice to be able to open up your workbooks exactly where you left off the last time you closed Excel? Before you quit, select Files-Save Workspace and specify a file name. To reopen the workspace file at your next session, use File-Open and choose the workspace file (it'll have an .xlw extension). Note: a workspace file contains only configuration information, not the actual workbooks and worksheets. Therefore, you can't simply copy the workspace file ù you'll need the workbook files, too.
